Key Highlights of KTR’s Criticism:

• Selective Outrage: KTR criticized Rahul Gandhi for calling the ₹1 lakh crore Dharavi redevelopment project in Maharashtra under Modi and Adani a scam while ignoring the ₹1.5 lakh crore Musi River rejuvenation project involving Adani under Congress-led Telangana.
• Consistency in Criticism: “If Modi & Adani’s collaboration is a scam, how is it ‘safe’ when it involves Congress’s Revanth & Adani?” KTR asked.
• Sarcasm on “Safe” Concept: He further ridiculed the Congress’s changing definition of “safe” depending on the state or election, emphasizing their inconsistency in governance and policy.
• Twin Threats to Democracy: KTR labeled both the BJP and Congress as “twin threats,” declaring them unsafe for democracy and development in the country.

KTR’s Assertion:

KTR emphasized the need for transparency and consistency in political accountability. “Both BJP and Congress have failed to uphold democratic values and ensure equitable development,” he asserted.

Context:

Rahul Gandhi’s recent campaign criticized BJP’s alleged nexus with Adani in Maharashtra. KTR’s remarks highlight Congress’s own associations with the industrialist, exposing contradictions in their stance.
