KTR uses Jayashankar anniversary to launch fresh attack on Congress
A man named KT Rama Rao, known as KTR, gave a speech in the city of Hyderabad.
He was speaking at a special event to remember a famous teacher named Professor Jayashankar.
Professor Jayashankar helped people in the state of Telangana fight for their own state.
KTR said the professor taught their party leader how to lead peaceful protests.
He called Professor Jayashankar a 'walking encyclopedia' because he knew so much.
KTR also said some politicians in charge now visit the capital city Delhi too often.
He said the Chief Minister has gone to Delhi 75 times since he started the job.
KTR thinks leaders should focus on taking care of Telangana instead of listening to Delhi.
He said the state's water projects and jobs are not being handled well.
KTR is upset because he believes other big political parties are not standing up for Telangana.
BRS working president KT Rama Rao attacked the Congress and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy at an event marking Professor K Jayashankar's birth anniversary at Telangana Bhavan in Hyderabad.
KTR said Jayashankar imparted the idea of the democratisation of agitations to BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao and hailed him as a walking encyclopedia and great teacher.
KTR alleged that Revanth Reddy has visited Delhi 75 times since assuming office, averaging roughly one trip every 13 days.
KTR claimed the Andhra Pradesh government is seeking the cancellation of seven Telangana irrigation projects.
KTR said neither BJP nor Congress MPs responded when a BJP MP compared Telangana's formation to Pakistan, and accused the Congress government of failing on job recruitment, debt management, and development.
