BRS Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) on Wednesday strongly criticised the
Congress party and its leader Rahul Gandhi. He said Rahul Gandhi has become a burden
for the Opposition in India.
Speaking at the IGNITION Summit held by the Shiv Nadar Foundation in Chennai,
KTR said the Congress has become very weak and can no longer act as a strong
national Opposition. He said Rahul Gandhi has no long-term plans for India and
has not clearly spoken about important topics like the economy, jobs, innovation,
and industries. According to KTR, this lack of ideas is actually helping Prime
Minister Narendra Modi.
KTR also said that after the time of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, the
Congress has not done anything important at the national level. He added that
the party has not given any strong alternative to the BJP and is losing support
in many states.
Talking about Rahul Gandhi’s claims during the Telangana election, where Rahul
said there was “₹1 lakh crore corruption” in the Kaleshwaram project, KTR called
him “ignorant” because the total project cost was not even that high.
