The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday slammed Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of promoting Nathuram Godse’s ideology in the country.
BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla responded sharply to Reddy’s remark, taking a jibe at him by bringing up the ongoing Kancha Gachibowli land dispute. He even compared him to Adolf Hitler.
“Revanth Reddy ji, the entire country knows who acted like Hitler and Indira Gandhi when trying to seize the forest land belonging to Hyderabad University,” Poonawalla said in a video message. “You also tried to destroy the city’s green spaces.”
He reminded the Telangana CM of the Supreme Court’s recent order against the state government’s actions concerning the 400-acre land dispute. This land issue has sparked strong protests from Hyderabad University students over the past few weeks.
“The Supreme Court has taken serious note of this matter. After the arrests of students and journalists, everyone can see who is behaving like a Hitler,” he added.
The University of Hyderabad Students’ Union (UoHSU) had staged an indefinite protest and boycotted classes after the state announced plans to develop the 400-acre plot near the university. However, the protests were called off after the Supreme Court stayed all development work until further notice.
Reddy’s attack on Modi
Reddy made the remarks about PM Modi earlier today at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) meeting in Ahmedabad, which was attended by the party’s top brass including Rahul Gandhi.
“Narendra Modi talks about his guarantees, but those guarantees will never be fulfilled. He promised two crore jobs every year, but even after 11 years, no one knows what happened to that promise,” Reddy said at the meeting.
CM Revanth Reddy’s Speech at AICC Plenary – A Call Against Godse Ideologyనరేంద్ర మోదీ గారు తమ గ్యారంటీల గురించి చెప్తారు. కానీ ఆ గ్యారంటీలు ఎప్పటికీ నెరవేరవు. ప్రతి సంవత్సరం రెండు కోట్ల ఉద్యోగాలు ఇస్తామన్నారు. కానీ 11 ఏళ్ళ తర్వాత కూడా ఆ హామీ ఏమైందో ఎవరికీ తెలియదు.

He went on to praise the Congress government’s achievements in Telangana, saying, “As soon as the Congress government was formed in Telangana, we waived the loans of lakhs of farmers. We also conducted a caste census.”
“On one hand, the Congress party, under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, is advancing the Gandhian ideology. On the other hand, Narendra Modi is trying to spread the ideology of Godse in this country. That is why we all must stand against this harmful ideology,” Telangana CM added.
