Whoever Questions Centre Gets Tagged As Anti-national: K Chandrasekhar Rao
KCR accused that BJP uses various probe agencies against them and this has been the style of the BJP
Mumbai: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar on Monday, said that whoever questions the BJP gets branded anti-national or has to face raids by Income Tax, Enforcement Directorate or other agencies, reacting to the state BJP President Bandi Sanjay, terming him anti-national.
“Can I be called an anti-national for demanding the BJP government at the Centre to protect the borders amid reports of encroachments by a neighbouring country,” he asked.
“I was not anti-national when we extended support for the President’s election and for passing various bills in the Parliament?” he added.
He said BJP uses various agencies against them and alleged that this has been the style of the BJP for the last seven years.
“Is BJP a factory of anti-nationals?” he asked and remarked that BJP leaders “stamp” those questioning them as either “anti-national” or “urban Naxalites”.
Earlier, state BJP President Bandi Sanjay had termed him anti-national, alleging that KCR made certain comments supporting China and demoralising and insulting soldiers on the Indo-China border.
The BJP leader had even alleged that KCR was speaking in support of China as he had made investments in that country. Sanjay demanded that he resign or apologise to the nation.
The Chief Minister stated that the BJP cannot do anything to him as he or his government was not involved in any irregularities. “We have no industries nor did we indulge in cases like money laundering,” he said adding that they were ready for any inquiry.
The chief minister addressed a news conference for a second consecutive day, to slam the Centre for not procuring paddy from the state. He claimed that he was committed to fighting for the cause of Telangana farmers till the last breath.
KCR announced that Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) will stage dharnas in all constituency headquarters in the state on 12 November to mount pressure on the Centre to purchase paddy from the farmers.
He also made it clear that the state was seeking it’s due and that the Centre was not doling out any largesse on Telangana.
KCR asked Bandi Sanjay to respond clearly if he would ask the Centre to procure paddy or not. He made it clear that he would not leave the BJP and expose it on every issue. He further requested farmers to not go for paddy cultivation without any assurance from the Centre that it will purchase it.
