Jupally Krishna Rao Reacts to KTR Remarks on Rahul Gandhi
Jupally Krishna Rao said KTR’s statement that Rahul Gandhi “betrayed Telangana farmers” by making false promises and his controversial comment suggesting harsh punishment were highly inappropriate. He termed KTR an “opportunistic leader” and said such remarks do not reflect democratic values.
According to Jupally, targeting Rahul Gandhi with extreme language is not only wrong but also disrespectful to the people of Telangana who believe in constructive politics.
Rahul Gandhi Praised as an Honest Leader
Defending Rahul Gandhi, Jupally Krishna Rao described him as an honest and principled leader who even sacrificed the opportunity to become the Prime Minister for the sake of party discipline and democratic norms.
“Leaders like Rahul Gandhi should be respected, not attacked with abusive statements,” the minister said, adding that the Congress leader has consistently raised public issues and stood by farmers and marginalised communities.
Congress vs BRS: Jupally Recalls Past Promises
Highlighting the Congress vs BRS debate, Jupally Krishna Rao reminded that K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) had made key promises during the Telangana statehood movement, including:
- Making a Dalit the Chief Minister after state formation
- Providing three acres of land to every Dalit family
He alleged that these promises were not fulfilled even years after Telangana was formed, questioning the moral authority of BRS leaders to criticise others.
Urdu University Land Issue: Collector Deserves Appreciation
On the issue of land allotted to the Urdu University, Jupally Krishna Rao said there was nothing wrong in the district collector issuing a notice seeking an explanation for the non-utilisation of the land.
He stated that:
- The notice was part of routine administrative review
- Public land must be used for the intended purpose
- The collector should be appreciated for ensuring accountability
Strong Political Message Ahead
Jupally Krishna Rao’s remarks come at a time when political tensions between Congress and BRS are intensifying in Telangana. By defending Rahul Gandhi and countering KTR’s statements, the minister sent a clear message that personal attacks will be firmly opposed.
In the ongoing Congress vs BRS debate, Jupally reiterated that honest leadership and accountability matter more than sensational comments, and the people of Telangana will judge leaders based on their actions, not rhetoric.
