KTR Slams Revanth as ‘Criminal Waste’ Foisted on State by Cong

BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao on Monday demanded that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy issue an unconditional public apology to the youth and engineering students of Telangana for allegedly betraying and insulting them.

Rama Rao at a press conference said the “the biggest criminal waste” committed by the Congress was making Revanth Reddy, who was facing 89 criminal cases, the Chief Minister.

Rama Rao said the Chief Minister had no moral authority to insult lakhs of educated youth, adding that it is debatable if the Chief Minister ever appeared for a competitive examination, or even possessed the ability to fill out his own election affidavit without assistance.

Charging the Congress government with deceiving Telangana's youths with the promise of a job calendar, filling of two lakh government jobs and other commitments, the government, he said, instead failed to honour its commitments, and created frustration among unemployed youths, pushing some of them into suicide attempts as was the case with a youth from Khammam, Gaddam Venu.

Questioning Rahul Gandhi's silence, Rama Rao asked why the Congress leader, who frequently speaks about youth issues in other states, failed to respond to the betrayal Telangana's youth by his party, the remarks against engineering students, police action against protesting students and unemployed youth, and the growing frustration among job seekers.
