Revanth Reddy and KTR, prominent figures in Telangana politics, have long been arch-rivals. However, recent events suggest a surprising mutual assistance between the two. Revanth Reddy’s remarks during the TANA meeting regarding 24-hour free electricity for farmers sparked a fierce debate.
While his comment was intended as a general statement, leaders from the BRS (Bathukamma Rytu Samithi) interpreted it differently. Kavitha, a prominent member of the BRS, demanded an immediate apology from Revanth Reddy to the farming community. Meanwhile, KTR, another influential leader, criticized Revanth by highlighting the state government’s efforts in providing 24-hour electricity to facilitate three crop yields for farmers.
The BRS orchestrated state-wide protests against Revanth, indicating a concerted effort to target the Congress party extensively. The timing of Revanth’s controversial comment suggests a deliberate strategy by the BRS to maintain a balance of power between the Congress and BJP. By dividing anti-incumbency votes between the two parties, the BRS aims to prevent any single party from benefiting.
This strategic move likely explains the intense round of criticism and organized protests directed at Revanth Reddy. The political landscape in Telangana remains charged as rival factions seize opportunities to gain an upper hand. Revanth’s remark has become the centre of political controversy, further escalating the conflict between the Congress and BRS. It will be interesting to see how this debate changes the political dynamics in the state as events develop.
