They raised slogans of “Adani-Revanth Reddy Bhai Bhai” and held placards, before addressing the media at the Media Point.

He ridiculed Revanth Reddy’s protests against Adani, calling them a political circus. he said while Revanth Reddy spoke against Adani in public, his government facilitated agreements and approvals, including granting land for a cement factory in Ramannapet and conducting public hearings under heavy police watch
“Revanth Reddy accused Adani of bringing shame to the country but Revanth himself brought shame to Telangana and also Rahul Gandhi by signing agreements with Adani. You are working as an agent for Adani while pretending to fight corruption, he charged.
Referring to Congress’s refusal to allow BRS MLAs to protest in the Assembly, the BRS legislator questioned the sincerity of Revanth Reddy’s fight against Adani, accusing him of using diversionary tactics to avoid scrutiny. He also demanded that Hyderabad Police Commissioner CV Anand file cases against participants of a dharna at Raj Bhavan and disrupting traffic and causing inconvenience to the public, asserting that the law should be equal for all.
