Hitting out at Rahul Gandhi for alleging that there is a dynastic rule in Telangana, state Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's son KTR on Thursday said that the Congress MP himself comes from a family that has a dynastic background.
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and Telangana minister KT Rama Rao, while addressing a gathering at Telangana Bhavan here said, "Yesterday Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi came to Telangana. They went to Rammappa temple. It is a good thing. After coming back from there, they talked and abused as they wish. Rahul Gandhi comes and says that KCR's is dynastic rule. Who is Rahul Gandhi? He is the son of Sonia Gandhi, who is daughter of Rajiv Gandhi, who is son of Indira Gandhi, who is daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru. He is coming here and telling that KCR's is dynastic rule...How is this justice?" Telangana will go to the polls on November 30 and the counting of votes will be done on December 3. Earlier on Tuesday, Congress leaders Priyanaka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi campaigned together for Congress as part of party's 'Vijayabheri' yatra. The brother-sister duo also offered prayers at Ramappa Temple in Mulugu. Later, the Wayanad MP alleged that BJP wants BRS to win the upcoming Assembly elections and that both the parties are together. "Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wants the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) to win the state elections. The most significant evidence of this secret alliance between the BJP and the BRS is the absence of ongoing investigations against Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao by investigative agencies, despite cases being filed against numerous opposition leaders," Rahul had said. The state will witness a triangular contest between the BJP, the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi, and the Congress. In the previous Assembly election held in 2018, BRS won 88 seats out of 119 seats with a vote share of 47.4 per cent. Congress came in a distant second with 19 seats. (ANI)
