Revanth objects to Thiruvananthapuram MP’s words of praise for KCR government
Words of praise for the Telangana government by Lok Sabha member Shashi Tharoor kicked up a political storm on Thursday as State’s Information Technology (IT) Minister K.T. Rama Rao accused Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief Revanth Reddy of using derogatory language and calling Mr. Tharoor a ‘donkey’.
Mr. Tharoor told The Hindu that Mr. Reddy’s reaction was ‘unwarranted’ and may have been based on “inaccurate information”.
Mr. Reddy, perceived to be close to former party chief Rahul Gandhi, called Mr. Rao a ‘liar’ and described it as “fake news”.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
