Hyderabad, February 02: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy debunks, demolishes BRS myths about KCR. Addressing at the presentation of Ravi Narayana Reddy national award to Justice B Sudharshan Reddy today, the CM took a broad side at the opposition BRS leaders for projecting KCR as the lone Telangana protagonist. It was the KCR rule which had arrested several Telangana activists including one of the noted Telangana leaders during Telangana movement Professor M Kodandaram by breaking down the doors of their homes. “Is it not Kodandaram, who united the Telangana activists and led the movement? Did you not remember the freedom fighters then?”, the CM said his government did not resort to such violent ways like breaking down the doors of the BRS leader’s house. Instead, we issued notices and summoned for questioning in a democratic way.
CM Revanth Reddy highlighted DR ‘s Ambedkar ‘s famous statement that those who choose the wrong path must face inquiry in a democracy. People like Shibu Soren also faced inquiries. The CM ridiculed the leaders who amassed assets and enjoyed the posts calling themselves as Telangana activists. People rejected the BRS. The leaders should accept their wrongdoings and maintain dignity in the society. The CM wondered that the so-called father of Telangana was blaming people for his defeat.
During the Medieval period, the rulers portrayed their suffering as the suffering of the kingdom. Now, the time of medieval emperors is over. Those who commit mistakes must face the inquiry in modern democracy, the Chief Minister said that the Father of the Nation- Mahatma Gandhi sacrificed positions and gave up his life to the bullets of wicked people.
Appealing to all democratic forces to support the fight against ‘SIR’ launched by the Prime minister Narendra Modi’s government, the Chief minister said that Modi adopted ‘One Nation, One Party’. The BJP introduced SIR to suppress the voting rights granted by the Constitution.
CM Revanth Reddy urged the Communist parties to create awareness in the villages about Modi’s conspiracy to deprive the right to vote by the people. The constitution was under attack, the CM asserted that we all should raise the occasion and fight to protect the people’s rights.
Recalling the services rendered by Ravi Narayana Reddy, the CM said that the government will take an important decision in memory of the famous freedom fighter and reformer. Ravi Narayana Reddy played a key role in the armed peasant struggle against anarchic forces. Despite being born into a feudal family, he donated his 500 acres of land for the poor and fought against dictator rule and liberated the forced labor. Several people including Bandi Yadagiri were influenced by Narayana Reddy. It was Narayana Reddy who was elected as a Member of Parliament with a larger majority than Jawaharlal Nehru, the country’s first Prime Minister. Reflecting the people’s mandate, Nehru had Ravi Narayana Reddy inaugurate the first Parliament building. Ravi Narayana Reddy also inspired people by stepping down from party and political positions after attaining 60 years of age.
“In the present politics, some leaders are not ready to relinquish their positions even after being defeated by the people”, the CM said that Burgula and Ravi Narayana Reddy inspired the first generation. Jaipal Reddy and Sudarshan Reddy are an inspiration to Telangana society in the next generation.
The Chief minister recalled that he requested Jaipal Reddy to remain in politics in 2019 emphasizing the need for committed leaders in Indian politics. Jaipal Reddy distanced himself from active politics and encouraged young people like me in politics. The CM also noted that Justice Sudarshan Reddy’s commitment frightened Modi and it was the reason Rahul Gandhi fielded him as a candidate for the Vice President position. Justice Sudarshan Reddy entered the electoral fray against single-party, single-person rule. Sudharshan Reddy deserved for the Ravi Narayana Reddy national award, the CM said.
