3 months into the task as Telangana chief minister, Congress leader Revanth Reddy has his hands complete ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. In an interview with ET, the chief minister reveals his views on the arrest of INDIA bloc member, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwalin a case connected to Reddy’s political competing Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Hyderabad-based business leading the electoral bond tally to name a few. Modified excerpts:
Kejriwal’s Arrest
I do not have lots of information, so I will not go over the case on benefit however the timing is not. This appears vendetta politics, a politically inspired arrest. The case was generated 2022 and absolutely nothing was provided for almost 2 years. Now, as soon as Lok Sabha surveys have actually been alerted, they have actually detained the president of a celebration judgment in 2 states. He is not getting away the nation. You have actually gathered whatever. You could have done it after the elections also … What was the emergency situation?
It is the exact same pattern … Look at Jharkhand, a long pending case versus Soren. These arrests amidst elections indicate a vindictive passion to squash the Opposition unjustly.
Kavitha element
Once again, I am not entering into the benefits or truths of the case. That is for the courts to choose. BJP and BRS are siblings and partners in Telangana. The arrest of Kavitha is to offer BRS a compassion grip. In this manner the saffron celebration can take pride in being difficult on corruption while disregarding the outright electoral bonds concern. The essential objective here is they wish to get political advantage out of these arrests and stop the increase of Congress celebrationOn BRS likewise, for the last 2 years it resembled a television serial – saas bhi kabhi bahu thi – however they waited till now for political factors.
BRS and Bonds
It’s a glaring discovery of quid professional quo; absolutely nothing however a white-collar offense. INDIA bloc has actually currently taken a clear stand in this regard and I concur with it. Anyhow, we are doing our task, a judicial query into the Kaleshwaram job has actually been started.
The Megha aspect
We will absolutely check out it. I can not take rash actions and I require to follow particular procedures. I have actually currently asked that the Kaleshwaram dam task (Megha Engineering job) be examined by the National Dam Safety Authority. I have actually offered directions to my alertness and enforcement groups to look into this task. Based upon their report and suggestions, the federal government will take needed actions.
Yes, there is likewise the other problem of the substantial space in financing in between BJP and Congress however this is not a difficulty for any celebration alone, it’s an obstacle for the nation. The nation needs to believe and take the best choice at the correct time, else we will head towards crony commercialism.
Ram mandir and Lok Sabha
I do not count settled ratings. With settled ratings, you do not get any votes. What is your future strategy after a years of doing extremely little bit? They constantly price estimate ‘Ram Mandir’. When requested MSP for farmers or financial obligations or joblessness, they estimate Ram Mandir. It is among the actions. It is not a response for whatever.
Parivars: Modi Vs INDIA
Everybody understands that the approaching surveys are not simply any election, it is a war. It is a war in between 2 ‘parivars’ – Modi parivar Vs INDIA parivar. The Modi parivar has ED, CBI, Income Tax and EVMs – all companies with it. The INDIA parivar is the tradition of Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi. All of them have actually compromised their lives for the nation, they defended liberty, for well-being, advancement, Dalits and adivasis. Now, they are combating to safeguard democracy. All our allies – Akhilesh, Tejaswi, Uddhav, Kejriwal – are our parivar.
The Gandhi Parivar
The Gandhi ‘parivar’ is our pride. Our parivar has Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi who have actually compromised their lives for the nation. Jawaharlal Nehru and Gandhi defended the nation’s flexibility. Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi have actually compromised the prime minister and celebration president posts. After 1989, they have actually not taken any position although the celebration remained in favour of it.
The Gandhis are both the foundation and face of the celebration. Due to the fact that of them we have actually got statehood in Telangana and won elections here. PM Modi’s talk about the Gandhi parivar are absolutely nothing however rhetoric. He understands that as long as the Gandhi household exists, he is not going to get the area and location he desires.
ABVP to Congress Journey
My ideology is of advancement and well-being, to support the poorest of the bad. All my previous records reveal, I have actually remained in the Opposition, so it was not about power grabbing. I simply wished to offer voice to the poorest of the bad. When I was a trainee, I was with ABVP since then that was the platform I had. After I was chosen as a zila parishad member of legal council as an Independent, I signed up with Naidu’s celebration (TDP) in 2007 when it remained in Opposition. I likewise signed up with Congress in 2018 when it remained in Opposition. It remains in this celebration that I was an MLA while remaining in Opposition and just now we are in power.
