In a firm rebuttal, BRS Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) criticized the Congress government, accusing it of using legal threats to undermine the BRS party instead of facing it directly through political discourse. Responding to recent incidents surrounding a family function at the residence of Raj Pakala, KTR expressed frustration over what he called politically motivated actions aimed at disrupting the BRS’s growing influence and success.
Political Attacks through Legal Cases: A Growing Concern for BRS
KTR highlighted that as the BRS party actively addresses and exposes the shortcomings of the Congress administration, its leaders are being targeted. He emphasized that legal cases against BRS family members and close associates are being wielded as tools of intimidation. “This is a clear sign that they are unable to confront us on a political platform,” he stated, underscoring that such actions would not deter the BRS from its mission.
Family Gatherings Misrepresented in the Media
KTR clarified details of the recent family gathering held at Raj Pakala’s residence in Janwada, which sparked media controversy. According to KTR, the gathering was a simple Diwali celebration attended by close family and friends, not an elaborate event as some media outlets reported. “My brother-in-law was merely hosting a family dinner during Diwali festivities,” KTR stated. “What wrongdoing is there in inviting family members and celebrating an occasion in one’s own home?”
Allegations of a “Rave Party” Unfounded and Misleading
Criticizing false claims that the family gathering was a “rave party,” KTR stressed that the attendees included elderly family members and young children, dismissing these baseless rumors as an attempt to tarnish his family’s reputation. “People are spreading malicious rumors without any understanding of what a rave party even means,” he pointed out, condemning the actions as “a deliberate campaign of misinformation” by both social and traditional media.
Standing Strong Amidst Political Hostility
KTR remains resolute, asserting that such tactics will not intimidate the BRS or cause it to divert from its goals. He insisted that BRS will continue to expose the failures of the Congress government and urged the public to recognize these actions for what they are—politically driven moves intended to suppress legitimate criticism.
Tensions Rise with Detentions of Over 25 BRS Leaders and Supporters
In connection with the ongoing conflict, over 25 BRS leaders and party workers have been detained as tensions continue to escalate. KTR’s residence has reportedly become a focal point of this unrest, with authorities stepping up actions against BRS leaders.
Final Words from KTR
KTR closed his statement by reaffirming the BRS’s commitment to its mission, stating that the party will not be silenced by political maneuvering. “We are here to serve the people and to hold the government accountable. No amount of intimidation will change our path,” he concluded.
This unfolding political battle serves as a reminder of the challenges that political parties face when confronting opposition through direct discourse. KTR’s statements call attention to the importance of transparent political debate over intimidation and suppression, especially as elections approach and public interest in genuine leadership grows.
