Stung by govt's PPP, BRS MP walks out of all-party meeting
Hyderabad: BRS Parliamentary Party Deputy Leader Vaddiraju Ravichandra on Wednesday announced his boycott of the state government's power point presentation, alleging it was organised with 'political malice.' The BRS leader had initially attended the presentation delivered by Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy at the Secretariat. However, Vaddiraju Ravichandra walked out of the meeting in protest against what he termed the Congress government's 'political malfeasance' in organising a Public Private Partnership (PPP) on the Godavari-Banakacherla linkage project. MP Ravichandra unequivocally stated that undertaking this project is illegal and unjust, and that his party strongly opposes it. He urged the state government to strongly voice its case before the Centre on behalf of the people of Telangana, opposing this project proposal and calling for its immediate cancellation. Mr Ravichandra, who exited the meeting expressing strong objection to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's accusations against KCR without considering BRS's suggestions and recommendations, said that as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, if a state undertakes a new project, it must discuss the project details in the Apex Council and obtain approval. Ravichandra expressed regret that the Centre has taken steps to grant project approvals without convening an Apex Council meeting to discuss these actions taken by the Andhra Pradesh government in violation of the Reorganisation Act. 'We request the Chief Minister to write a letter to the Central Water Resources Department to immediately convene an Apex Council meeting. These issues that are hurting the interests of Telangana should be taken to Delhi soon,' said Ravichandra. He further urged the government to convene a special Assembly session where a unanimous resolution should be passed to stop the Polavaram Banakacherla project and sent to the Centre. BRS leaders K Kishore Goud, B Ramamurthy, J Jagan Mohan and others were also present.

These ‘Delhi' parties ruined Telangana model villages
Khammam: Senior Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and Rajya Sabha MP, Vaddiraju Ravichandra, has strongly criticised the Congress government, claiming that their 16-month rule has severely undermined the State's progress, particularly its model villages. Speaking exclusively to The Hans India ahead of the BRS Party's silver jubilee celebrations, which is on Sunday, Ravichandra expressed his deep dissatisfaction with the current administration's handling of rural affairs. He attacked the Congress government for destroying the 'Gandhian Gram Swaraj' that was established during the ten years of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao's reign. He emphasised that KCR had realised Mahatma Gandhi's idea of local self-governance in addition to the goals of the Telangana movement. 'There is currently a crisis in Telangana's model villages,' he said and claimed that both the Congress in the State and the BJP at the Centre deceived the rural populace. 'People are seeing the disintegration of Telangana's villages, which were once ideal communities. They will give the Delhi parties a good lesson,' he asserted. As part of the party's silver jubilee festivities, Ravichandra shared that a sizable public gathering will be held at Elkathurthy, close to Warangal, on April 27, the day the party was founded. According to him, BRS serves as a safeguard for the interests and well-being of the Telangana people. 'The celebration of the BRS silver jubilee is a symbol of Telangana's hard-won progress and former Chief Minister KCR's visionary leadership,' he said, dismissing criticism of the event. According to him, it is a natural evolution that is in line with people's goals. 'Evolution was only natural,' the MP noted, 'because BRS was necessary to serve the country.' He cautioned the leaders of the Congress not to make negative statements about KCR. 'The creation of Telangana was not by accident, but rather by the wisdom, bravery, and selflessness of KCR. He led the agitation without using violence and defeated political plots to realise the aspirations of many Telangana residents,' he remarked. He claimed that after decades of struggle, Telangana had become a model for socioeconomic progress in only ten years, but that Congress administration had caused it to face difficulties once more. 'The BRS was voted out due to the Congress party's fraudulent promises,' he alleged, He accused the Congress of betraying women and young people by failing to fulfill pledges of gold, scooters, financial aid, and jobs. He asserted that the people have realised their error and are prepared to reinstate the pink party in power in any future elections. Likening the silver anniversary celebration to a Kumbh Mela of Telangana pride, he urged farmers, women, and youth to participate in big numbers. Farmers who were denied a respectable living under the Congress dictatorship were asked to attend the large-scale public gathering. 'We invite all women to join us, especially who feel deceived by the Congress who promised them gold and didn't deliver,' he said.
