Hyderabad: In a fiery speech delivered at Telangana Bhavan during the state formation day celebrations, Siddipet MLA and former minister T.

BRS Will Contest Alone and Win 100 Seats, Says Harish Rao

Harish Rao firmly dismissed any rumors of a possible alliance involving the BRS.

“No matter what the elections are, the BRS will not ally with any party. We will contest alone and the pink flag will fly high with 100 assembly seats,” he said.

Harish Rao Slams BJP Over Godavari Water Disputes

Accusing the BJP of working against Telangana’s interests, Harish Rao alleged that the Banakacharla project poses a grave threat to the state’s rightful share in Godavari waters.

“Union Ministers Kishan Reddy, Bandi Sanjay, and MP Etela Rajender are silent while Andhra Pradesh builds the Banakacharla project. If it isn’t stopped, we’ll take the matter to the Supreme Court,” he warned.

He also condemned the current government’s inaction on Krishna river water and criticized the CM for allegedly siding with TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu.

Demand for Transparency in Miss England Case

Referring to recent controversies involving high-level state officials, Harish Rao demanded the release of video footage related to the Miss England misbehavior incident.

“If the Chief Minister is sincere, he must make the footage public and register cases against the MP, corporation chairman, and IAS officer involved,” he stated.

“Revanth Reddy Brought Shame to Telangana”

Drawing a sharp contrast between the BRS regime and the current Congress-led administration, Harish Rao said:

“If KCR put Telangana on the world map, Revanth Reddy has brought shame to it.”

He also accused Revanth of never saying “Jai Telangana” and labeled him a traitor to the Telangana cause.
