NIZAMABAD (TELANGANA), Aug 16 (PTI): Hitting out at AICC leader Rahul Gandhi, BRS MLC K
Kavitha on Wednesday said his recently concluded Bharat Jodo Yatra is like “a cat that killed 1,000
mice going on a Hajj pilgrimage.
Kavitha, who spoke at a party meeting in Bhodan, also took a dig at the Congress Party, which ruled
the country for 62 years in which the “poor remained poor” despite their slogan ‘Garibi Hatao’.
This is her first visit to Nizamabad Lok Sabha Constituency after she publicly announced that she
would be contesting from here in the 2024 General Elections.
BRS cadres held a huge rally to welcome her.
“He (Rahul Gandhi) took out a foot-march — Bharat Jodo Yatra. You know how I feel? (about that
yatra) ‘Hazaar chuhon ko maar ke ek billi Hajj yatra ko nikalti hai’ (a cat going on a Hajj pilgrimage
after killing 1,000 mice). That is how Rahul Gandhiji’s yatra is.
“The Congress Party ruled for 62 years after the country gained independence. What have you done
for Muslims? You (the Congress Party) kept on saying ‘Garibi Hatao’. What have you done for the
poor? You removed poor people, but not poverty,” she charged.
She asked the BRS party cadres to go to every household and mosque in the constituency and meet
Maulanas (Muslim men who are revered for their religious knowledge) to explain to them why one
should not vote for the Congress.
“No one could bring the revolution in Telangana that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) has
been able to usher in the last 10 years in the state. Our minority brothers should think about
whether one should vote for the Congress,” she said.
She claimed that there has been no development in the country despite the rule of Congress leaders
for generations.
According to her, Telangana Muslims are not thinking of anything other than “Car and Sarcar” (Car is
the poll symbol of the BRS Party).
During the past 10 years under KCR rule, there has been no communal violence in the state, she said.
The MLC added that Rahul Gandhi says that the Constitution and democracy are under threat, but
the truth is that Telangana has a powerful leader and a powerful democracy, and the Constitution is
thriving under the leadership of CM KCR.
