Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy criticised the previous BRS government over Sircilla’s development and alleged corruption during its 10-year rule. Speaking at a public meeting in Sircilla, he targeted former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao and his family.
The chief minister said the previous government failed to develop Sircilla despite its identity as a major handloom centre. He described the town as an area that faced growing problems under the previous administration.
Revanth Reddy praised Sircilla’s weavers for their skills and recalled the recognition earned by handloom workers through their craft, including the famous matchbox saree. He accused the previous rulers of neglecting the town for political interests.
According to Revanth Reddy, workers faced hardship as loom activity declined and associations raised protests. He also criticised K. Chandrashekar Rao for choosing his son over K.K. Mahender Reddy during the political contest in Sircilla.
The chief minister alleged that the Kalvakuntla family accumulated assets worth thousands of crores by using the Telangana movement as a political platform. He made the allegation while addressing the gathering in Sircilla.
Revanth Reddy Sircilla speech raised Gulf migration and Kaleshwaram allegations
Revanth Reddy questioned why the previous BRS government failed to stop migration to Gulf countries during its decade in office. He said workers who died in Gulf nations did not receive adequate government assistance to bring their bodies home.
The chief minister accused the KCR family of ignoring Gulf migrant workers during its time in power. He also recalled K. Chandrashekar Rao’s earlier electoral victory from Palamuru and questioned what changes the region had seen afterward.
Revanth Reddy questioned how KCR could accumulate assets worth ₹1 lakh crore. He asked the former chief minister to explain which businesses generated such wealth for his family.
The chief minister also alleged that KCR diverted ₹1 lakh crore through the Kaleshwaram project. He accused Santosh Rao, whom he identified as KCR’s relative’s son, of extracting large quantities of sand from the Maneru stream.
Revanth Reddy further alleged that KTR and Santosh Rao together misappropriated public money worth thousands of crores. He also questioned the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Dalits who, according to his allegation, had opposed the alleged corruption.
These allegations formed part of Revanth Reddy’s wider attack on the previous BRS administration during the Sircilla public meeting. His remarks focused on the town’s development, weavers’ concerns, Gulf migration and alleged financial irregularities.
The Revanth Reddy Sircilla speech added to his criticism of the previous BRS government and the KCR family. He continued to raise allegations concerning the Kaleshwaram project and the family’s assets during the meeting.
