Hyderabad: Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Thursday launched a sharp attack on the Congress government in Telangana, alleging large-scale corruption involving cabinet ministers.
During a media interaction, Bandi Sanjay alleged that two or three ministers had misused legal loopholes to carry out irregularities worth thousands of crores. He said intelligence agencies had already prepared reports on these alleged activities.
Warning of action, Bandi Sanjay said the Bharatiya Janata Party would soon expose the ministers involved. He added that the BJP would intensify its campaign against what he described as Congress corruption in the state.
Turning to governance, he criticised the functioning of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. According to Bandi Sanjay, the present administration followed the same path as the earlier government led by K Chandrashekar Rao.
He alleged that the government weakened transparency by keeping government orders out of the public domain. Such practices, he said, undermined accountability.
Bandi Sanjay attacks KCR family over key issues
Speaking on the Krishna river water dispute, Bandi Sanjay said KCR alone was responsible for injustice to Telangana. He alleged that KCR agreed to accept only 299 TMC of water, despite Telangana’s rightful share of 575 TMC.
Calling KCR a betrayer of the state, Bandi Sanjay said the BJP was ready to reveal details of agreements reached during Apex Committee meetings held in the presence of Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.
He further alleged that the KCR family alone benefited during the previous regime. In addition, Bandi Sanjay claimed the family had a clear role in the phone tapping case.
Referring to the alleged tapping of nearly 6,000 phones, he said many lives were destroyed. He asserted that the BJP would ensure jail terms for all those responsible if it came to power.
Bandi Sanjay outlines BJP plans for GHMC polls
Looking ahead to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections, Bandi Sanjay expressed confidence that the BJP would contest alone and win the mayor’s post. He accused the Congress of planning to hand over Hyderabad to the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen.
Declaring “Majlis-free Bhagyanagar” as the BJP’s goal, Bandi Sanjay said the party would work to end AIMIM’s influence in the city.
On rural funding, he criticised the state government over grants to gram panchayats. He said the Centre released Rs 3,005 crore, while the state promised only Rs 5 lakh per panchayat.
Demanding higher support, Bandi Sanjay said each panchayat should receive at least Rs 1 crore. He also stated that the BJP was ready for the Khairatabad by-election and that party workers were eager for the contest.
