Hindustan Surkhiyan Desk: After the Congress slammed the Telangana government for recommending the dissolution of the state assembly, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, in a controversial statement, termed Congress president Rahul Gandhi as the “biggest buffoon” of the country.
“Everyone knows what Rahul Gandhi is…the biggest buffoon of the country. Whole country has seen how he went to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and hugged him, the way he was winking,” Rao said.
He said Gandhi is “property” to his party, the more he will visit Telangana, the more seats TRS will win.
Urging people not to become “slaves” of the Congress, KCR said: “Rahul Gandhi inherited the legacy of Congress Delhi sultanate, he is the legal heir of Congress empire of Delhi. That is the reason I appeal to the people, let us not become slaves to Congress, slaves to Delhi.”
KCR, however, made it clear that his party won’t join hands with the BJP.
“The TRS is a 100 per cent secular party. How can we join hands with BJP?” he said, adding that his party will contest election on its own.
Ending weeks of speculation, the Telangana government recommended the dissolution of the state assembly Thursday. A resolution recommending the dissolution of the House was adopted at a meeting of the state Cabinet chaired Rao this afternoon.
Congress said the Chief Minister owed an explanation to the people as to what necessitated him to cut short the Assembly tenure.
The main opposition Congress said the Chief Minister owed an explanation to the people as to what necessitated him to cut short the Assembly tenure.
The State was formed after “so much of struggle and sacrifices,” and people had so many hopes on development, farm issues and employment generation but those promises have not been fulfilled, the Chief spokesperson of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee Sravan Dasoju told PTI.
Alleging a “dubious pact” pact between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rao, he claimed that if simultaneous polls were to be held for Lok Sabha and Telangana Assembly as scheduled next year, it would have turned into a Rahul Gandhi versus Modi fight in states like Telangana benefitting the Congress.
