Hyderabad, Jan 4 (NationPress) The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is demanding an apology from Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for his use of derogatory language directed at its leaders during a session of the State Legislative Assembly.

During a discussion concerning the Krishna waters, the Chief Minister resorted to using unparliamentary language against BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao and deputy leader in the Assembly T. Harish Rao.

Harish Rao criticized the Chief Minister for unleashing a wave of extremely offensive language. He stated, “While asserting that abusive language has no place in the Assembly, he himself resorted to such actions. Revanth Reddy must apologize for employing the shockingly vulgar term ‘Bhadwe’ (pimps) within the Assembly, which is regarded as a temple of democracy,” he expressed on ‘X’.

The BRS leader further emphasized that a civilized society should not tolerate such behavior from Revanth. “His threats to sever tongues and the violent, criminal undertones in his speech during Assembly sessions reflect the depths of his political depravity. It is a tragedy that the Speaker did not intervene to curb the Chief Minister's grotesque outburst, which would cause any civilized society to hang its head in shame,” stated the former minister.

The absence of BRS MLAs in the Assembly was due to the party's decision to boycott the winter session, protesting against what they perceive as the Speaker's biased conduct.

Harish Rao also labeled it disgraceful for Revanth Reddy to claim credit for the stay granted by the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation project, attributing it to the legal efforts undertaken by BRS.

He dismissed Revanth's assertion that the Congress was responsible for the Palamuru Rangareddy Project as nothing more than his sheer “madness.”

He pointed out that in 2009, the then Congress government issued a CMO note during the general elections about the Palamuru Rangareddy Project, but a GO for preparing the DPR was only issued during the 2014 elections. “What right does the Congress have to criticize BRS when it took five years just to issue a GO for the DPR?” he questioned.

Harish Rao remarked that Revanth Reddy, who did not participate in the Telangana movement, is now questioning KCR's pure intentions, the leader of that very movement. He stated that this was akin to “spitting at the sun.”

The BRS leader indicated that both the Chief Minister and the irrigation minister had to acknowledge in the Assembly that the reduction of water allocation for the Palamuru Rangareddy Project to 45 TMC is indeed a fact.

He asserted that it was only after BRS called the government to account that a resolution was passed in the Assembly, urging the Centre not to grant permission for the Polavaram Nallamalasagar project.

“This resolution is the fruit of BRS' struggle. The Assembly proceedings have once again demonstrated that Revanth lacks even basic knowledge on irrigation matters,” he concluded.
