The protest was in the wake of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) directing all Congress units across the country to stage protests against the BJP government alleging that it was supporting the Adani group in looting the nation’s wealth. Following the Hindenburg report over irregularities committed by SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi demanded that the BJP government dismiss her from the post and initiate action against her. This apart, the INDI block had also insisted on a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe against these allegations but the Parliament was adjourned four days in advance, the Chief Minister said at the protest. Apart from Cabinet Ministers, AICC Telangana in-charge Deepadas Munshi and senior leader Salman Khurshid participated in the protest.

All four Gujarat persons, including Adani, Ambani, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah were looting the nation. The Congress party had called for a protest to expose these irregularities before the people, he said.

CM Revanth Reddy’s Address

“Though I am the Chief Minister, abiding by the high command’s dectat, I am participating in the protest like any other Congress party worker.  Irrespective of the stature, when high command gives a call, one has to protest,” Revanth Reddy said, also accusing the BRS of instigating farmers over the crop loan waiver.  Asking farmers why they were staging protests on the roads, he said they should instead approach Collectors or agriculture officers if they had any issues.  Stating that his government had already paid Rs. 18,000 crore to the agriculture department towards the crop loan waiver, he said farmers with excess loans than the ceiling limit should clear the additional amount payable to the Banks. The balance amount would be waived by the government, he said. 

“Why should one stage dharnas? People should stage dharnas or rasta roko when the government does not listen to them.”  Revanth Reddy said, once again challenging BRS leaders to touch the Rajiv Gandhi statue to be installed in front of the Secretariat and threatening them that they would be thrashed by Congress workers if they tried to do so.  (Maxim News)
