Hyderabad: Telangana Congress president B Mahesh Kumar Goud on Tuesday said BRS has “no future, only a past” and claimed that the silence of the pink party top leaders on allegations made by Telangana Jagruti leader K Kavitha has led people to believe that big time corruption took place during the previous BRS govt.‘Rubbishes rumours’He dismissed speculation that K Kavitha might join Congress. “Kavitha has been making allegations of corruption against top BRS leaders. In such a case when no counter is made from BRS, the people will naturally assume that corruption took place,” he told media persons in a chat at Gandhi Bhavan.Continuing his criticism of BJP, the TPCC chief said the saffron party did not have enough foothold to emerge as a strong influential force in Telangana. He questioned how long people would vote for BJP in the name of Hindu sentiment, and alleged that the party keeps using the names of gods for political mileage, which he said was not advisable.“Nearly 90% of the members in Congress are also Hindus and pray to various gods. We are also religious, but gods should be respected as gods and not used as political tools,” he added. On administration and governance, Mahesh Goud said minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has already clarified that chief minister A Revanth Reddy does not interfere in the functioning of ministers’ departments. He supported the proposal to hold a cabinet meeting in Medaram, calling it an auspicious idea as one of the world’s biggest tribal jathra would be held there later this month. Stating that there was no proposal to change the AICC in charge of Telangana, he said a political affairs committee meeting would be held soon to decide on alliances with CPI, CPM and other parties in ensuing elections to the urban local bodies.Action on misinfo: GoudOn reorganisation of districts, Goud said there was no proposal to abolish any district. He alleged the exercise was done unscientifically and for political mileage by BRS, resulting in complaints seeking rationalisation.Condemning false allegations against woman IAS officers, he said making baseless accusations without evidence was unacceptable and warned that action would be taken against those spreading misinformation and propaganda.
