BRS, BJP question Rahul’s TG visit, call it ‘pocket money collection’

Hyderabad: On a day when senior Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, is in Telangana, leaders of the opposition BRS and BJP asked him whether he had come to collect the Rs 1,000 crore promised by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy.

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K T Rama Rao took to ‘X’ to say hello to Rahul Gandhi and welcome him to what he called ‘AICC’s ATM-Telangana’.“Have you come down just to collect ₹1,000 Cr promised by your CM,” asked the former minister.

“Care enough to review the progress of 6 Guarantees that were to be delivered within 100 days and 420 other promises you had made to the people?” added the BRS leader.

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar also wondered if Rahul Gandhi is in Telangana to collect what he called “pocket money.” “He is here to conclude the Congress's acting course” - the same stage where CM Revanth Reddy claimed Congress can give Rs 10,000 crore to the Gandhi family, with Rs 1,000 crore from Telangana alone. Is this a political visit… or a collection review? Telangana is watching,” the BJP leader posted on ‘X’.

Rahul Gandhi arrived in Hyderabad on Monday morning and later left for Vikarabad, where he presided over the joint meeting of the Political Affairs Committees (PACs) of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) and the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC).
