BRS Gadwal In-Charge Basu Hanumanthu Naidu Slams Congress Over Kaleshwaram Report, Calls It a Political Vendetta
The session was organized on Tuesday at the BRS District Office in Gadwal, where Basu Hanumanthu Naidu, along with party leaders and cadres, watched Harish Rao's presentation—broadcast from the Telangana Bhavan, Hyderabad—on an LED screen. The presentation addressed what the BRS party claims are false allegations made by the Congress government about corruption in the Kaleshwaram Project.
Speaking on the occasion, Basu Hanumanthu Naidu stated that Harish Rao 'broke the lies into pieces' with factual clarity. He accused the Congress of proving the saying 'one lie leads to a thousand lies.' Referring to Congress' earlier claims of ₹1 lakh crore corruption in the Kaleshwaram project, he criticized them for fabricating new lies to back their initial baseless claims after coming into power.
'No matter how many commissions you set up, how many investigations you conduct, or how many hundreds of pages you publish in your reports, the BRS party is ready to face all of it,' he asserted. He added that what the Congress government failed to achieve in 60 years, KCR accomplished in just three years by completing the Kaleshwaram Project and bringing water to drought-hit fields.
'No amount of fake documentation can erase this truth,' he emphasized.
The event saw participation from a large number of BRS leaders and supporters, including Nagar Doddi Venkata Ramulu, Chakradhar Rao, G. Raghavendra Reddy, Angadi Basavaraj, Patel Janardhan Reddy, Atukuri Rehman, Monesh, Kottapalli Venkateshwara Reddy, Beechupalli Kurava Palleiah, S. Ramu Naidu, Ganjipeta Raju, Venkatesh Naidu, Tower Mukbal, Mahadevappa, D. Shekhar Naidu, Rayapuram Veeresh, Govindu, Maddileti, Rajini Babu, Muni Mourya, Rolli Krishna, Kangaru Thimmappa, Abraham, Anji, Govardhan, Obulesh, Ramudu, Venkatesh, Thimmappa, Gonupadu Ramu, Nagaraju, Anjaneyulu, along with several party leaders, workers, youth members, and supporters.

SC judges' observation on Rahul Gandhi unwarranted: Opposition floor leaders' meet
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The INDIA bloc floor leaders on Tuesday termed as "extraordinary" and "unwarranted" the observations of two Supreme Court judges about leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, including the comments that "if you were a true Indian, you would not have said this".On her part, Gandhi's sister and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said the SC judges "do not decide" who a true Indian is."All the (floor) leaders of the INDIA parties agreed that the sitting judge has made an extraordinary observation, which is unwarranted, on the democratic rights of political parties. It is the responsibility of political parties, especially the leader of Opposition, to comment on issues of national interest. When a government fails so spectacularly to defend our borders, it is every citizen's moral duty to hold it accountable," said a Congress press release after the floor leaders' to media queries later, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, "With due respect to the honourable judges, they do not decide who a true Indian is. It is the duty of the Opposition leader to question the government. My brother would never speak against the Army, he holds them in the highest respect. This is a misinterpretation."When media persons asked about the observations about Gandhi made by the judges on Monday, SP leader Akhilesh Yadav said, "BJP should tell the (border) area of India then and the area of India now. The day they give an answer, we will take out a Tiranga Yatra."

As local polls loom, Telangana BJP launches ‘Operation Akarsh' to woo BRS leaders
Hyderabad: With local body elections approaching and the Kaleswaram Commission report casting a shadow over the BRS, the BJP has launched a fresh political offensive, 'Operation Akarsh,' aimed at drawing disgruntled BRS leaders into its fold. The first visible shift came on Monday, when former MLA Guvvala Balaraju resigned from the BRS. According to party insiders, several influential leaders from Khammam and Nalgonda districts are now in talks with BJP functionaries and are likely to switch sides soon. The BJP, which has historically underperformed in these districts, sees this as a crucial opportunity to strengthen its base. The timing is key. The BRS is still reeling from back-to-back setbacks — a poor showing in the assembly elections, followed by a big loss in the Lok Sabha polls. In the aftermath, 10 of its MLAs defected to the ruling Congress.

Some are already in advanced talks with senior BJP leaders at the district level. Confirming the outreach, Telangana BJP president N Ramchander Rao told TOI: "Yes, some BRS leaders have approached us. Our focus is to strengthen the party ahead of the local polls. Any decisions will be made after careful evaluation. We cannot name anyone at this stage." With the BRS reduced to just 39 assembly seats and drawing a blank in the Lok Sabha elections, the party is facing internal discontent and a credibility crisis — giving rivals like the BJP a window to make strategic gains ahead of the next round of elections, a senior political analyst said.
