War Of Words Between KTR And Sridhar Babu Over Delhi Tours Row
- Delhi tours row heats up in Assembly between KTR and Sridhar Babu
- Minister defends Delhi visits, counters KTR criticism on governance
Hyderabad: Delhi tours row triggered a sharp exchange in the Assembly as Minister Sridhar Babu responded to remarks made by KTR. The debate took place during the discussion on the motion thanking the Governor’s address.
Sridhar Babu said the government would visit Delhi as many times as needed to secure funds for the state. He stated that they would meet the Prime Minister and Union Ministers repeatedly if required. He added that being a national party, their politics also connects with Delhi.
Meanwhile, he questioned KTR’s criticism of these visits. He asked whether the BRS, during its ten years in power, had not gone to Delhi to retain authority. He said it is necessary to approach the Centre for the state’s development and welfare. He stressed that efforts would continue regardless of the Centre’s response.
In the same discussion, Sridhar Babu criticised KTR’s speech. He said that instead of offering suggestions on the Governor’s address, KTR delivered routine remarks. He alleged that KTR was reading from a prepared script and not addressing key issues.
He further said that KTR, who has served as a minister, is now making statements that are far from facts. He also responded to KTR calling the government a “flop film.” Sridhar Babu said it was not the government but the BRS that failed in recent elections.
He referred to the 2023 Assembly elections, Lok Sabha polls, and local body elections. He claimed that the BRS faced repeated setbacks in these contests. Therefore, he said it was ironic for the party to call others unsuccessful.
Later, he advised KTR to focus on facts instead of criticism. He said continued negative remarks would not help the opposition improve. He added that acknowledging reality could help the party perform better in future elections.
The exchange highlighted growing political tensions between the ruling Congress and the opposition BRS. The Delhi tours row continues to remain a key point of debate in the Assembly.
