Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K. Kavitha has accused the Congress government in Telangana of neglecting minorities and demanded implementation of minority declaration. She alleged that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is a silent spectator to increasing violence against minorities.
The Member of Legislative Council was talking to media persons during her visit to Nizamabad to review preparations for the Ijtema to be organized by the Tablighi Jamaat.
“Will the Congress party hold CM Revanth Reddy accountable for the increasing communal violence and failure to fulfil promises, or is Rahul Gandhi encouraging this neglect?” she asked.
Kavitha accused Revanth Reddy of being an RSS-aligned leader who failed to safeguard the dignity and rights of minorities. She revealed that out of a sanctioned ₹3000 crore budget for minorities, only ₹700 crore has been utilised. She contrasted this with the BRS government’s decade-long record of communal harmony under CM KCR, where communities were empowered and no communal violence occurred.
Kavitha, daughter of BRS president and former chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, demanded the immediate implementation of the minority declaration and fulfilment of promises made to minorities, including, financial assistance of ₹1.6 lakh and 10 grams of gold under the Kalyan Lakshmi scheme for minority women.
She called for a focus on better education and job creation for minority communities. “Nizamabad, with the second-highest Muslim population in Telangana after Hyderabad, deserves focused efforts to empower its minority communities. The Congress government has ignored its responsibilities,” she added.
MLC Kavitha praised the Tablighi Jamaat for their noble work in spreading harmony and unity within communities, emphasising the importance of maintaining peace and empowering all citizens.
The BRS leader reiterated her commitment to ensuring justice for minorities and called on the Congress government to act immediately in the interest of the people of Telangana.
