Revanth calls for protests demanding KCR’s resignation as LoP

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy urged Congress workers and citizens to organize protests, demanding the resignation of BRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao as Leader of the Opposition. He proposed six days of dharnas commencing from Tuesday, culminating with a major demonstration at Indira Park on September 6. The deadline is September 7, when the Assembly session begins.

Revanth demanded an explanation from KCR about his failure to attend the Assembly and maintain public presence over the past 1,000 days. He questioned whether any other opposition leader in the country had stayed away from public life for that length of time. Revanth alleged that the BRS had not fulfilled its role as the main opposition party, and accused KCR of drawing ₹ 1.24 crore in salary during this period, while the government spent about ₹ 22 crore on his security and other expenses.

He challenged KCR to attend the Assembly and participate in a debate comparing the performance of his government and KCR's administration over the 1,000-day period. Revanth accused KCR of using political power to promote his family members, contrasting this with the Congress government's efforts to ensure representation across various social groups.

He highlighted welfare measures, including the distribution of ration cards and fine-quality rice to 3.48 crore people, construction of 7 lakh Indiramma houses, and the filling of 72,000 jobs in the past 1,000 days. Revanth also mentioned the completion of Scheduled Caste categorisation, BC caste census, and new policies for gig workers, sports, information technology, tourism, and endowments as achievements of his government.
