Dictators ruling the country and the State: Revanth

PCC chief unfurls the national flag at Gandhi Bhavan

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief and Malkajgiri MP A. Revanth Reddy, who unfurled the national flag at Gandhi Bhavan on the occasion of the 73rd Republic Day, said Congress was the only party that can uphold the constitutional values in the country.

Mr. Reddy said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had been violating the very spirit of the Constitution and suppressing people with their dictator-like attitude. While Mr. Modi had taken away the rights of people, KCR was behaving like a feudal lord, he alleged. KCR had completely dismantled the grievances mechanism and had been suppressing all voices of dissent. There was not even a functional Secretariat where people could visit to lodge their complaints., he said.

Congress had fought for the freedom of the country and since then it had been fighting for ensuring freedom, social justice and independence for people of the country, he said. The result of such a democratic attitude of the party was the adoption of the Constitution on January 26, 1950, under the leadership of BR Ambedkar.
