Speaking at an Iftar party in Kodad on Tuesday, Uttam Kumar Reddy emphasized that the return of the Congress party to power in Telangana has reinstated democracy and secularism in the State.
He said earlier under the previous BRS regime, the minorities faced suppression and neglect. None of the promises made with them, including 12% Muslim reservation, were honored.

They faced discrimination at all levels when BRS was in power. He said KCR was a pseudo-secular that strengthened the roots of BJP and RSS in Telangana in the last ten years.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said that only the Congress party could guarantee the continuance of secularism and democracy in India. He said only Congress was capable of fighting the BJP at the national level.

He said the return of BJP and Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister for the third term would be a severe blow for the minorities, especially the Muslims.
Despite fierce opposition, the BJP Government has already implemented the CAA.

If the BJP wins again, it will likely introduce the NRC and NPR. Therefore, to safeguard secularism in the country, people must support the Congress party.
“It is not just about who will be the next MP, but more crucially, who will be the next PM. If Modi is re-elected, he will dismantle the secular fabric.

However, if Rahul Gandhi becomes PM, he will uphold secularism and democracy,” he emphasized.
He said regional parties like BRS and TDP cannot be trusted as they can align with the BJP anytime for their interests.

Citing an instance, he said TDP came out of the NDA for the 2018 elections and later rejoined the BJP-led alliance. Similarly, he said BRS has been a secret ally of the BJP in Telangana, and soon, it will make its friendship an open affair.
The Minister informed that the Congress party has already initiated welfare schemes for minorities in Telangana.
