Days after Smriti Irani, the Union Minister for Women and Child DevelopmentIn, alleged the Telangana Government of enrolling Rohingyas in the voters list, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Minister answered back.
K.T. Rama Rao, the Working President of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) gave a strong retaliation to the comments of Ms. Irani.
Mr. Rao said refugees and illegal immigrants could enter the country only because of the failure of the Centre to secure India’s borders.
On the 27th of November, Mr. Rao addressed a meeting of the Arya Vysya community and countered Smriti Irani’s accusation.
During a campaign stop Ms. Irani criticised the TRS and the All India Majlis e Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) for extending support to Rohingyas immigrants and enrolling them in the voter’s list.
Ms. Irani said, the TRS allowed a safe stay for Rohingyas asking how the Rohingyas had in fact reached the City.
K.T. Rama Rao said, “You have been ruling in Delhi for the last six years. If there are infiltrations and illegal immigrants, what are Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh doing? Isn’t it you who gave them voter ID and Aadhaar cards?”
KTR also recalled the ‘surgical strike’ comment from the BJP State President Bandi Sanjay Kumar.
Mr. Rao asked, “After giving them voter ID cards and Aadhaar cards, now they are talking about surgical strikes and bombs. What do they mean? They will bomb and destroy Hyderabad?”
Mr. Rao continued criticising the Central Government, the BJP for targeting the Old City and creating communal chaos.
KTR said the points of the BJP should be on infrastructure, roads, drainages and such civic issues. However, the BJP was talking of Akbar, Babar and Bin Laden.
Mr. Rao said, “Who are Babar and Bin Laden? Have they come to Hyderabad? Do they have votes here? Why should we talk about them in Hyderabad?”
The TRS working president also lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s poll promise of Rs. 15 lakh in the Jan Dhan accounts to each citizen. He asked how many in the audience had received the promised Rs 15 lakh in their bank accounts, and said the BJP leaders were capable of making only false promises and statements.
