In a prelude to the Telangana assembly elections, BRS leader KT Rama Rao (KTR) raised questions about Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s professional career, asserting that Gandhi had never appeared for any entrance exams and was “jobless” since losing his job in 2014. KTR, taking a sharp jibe at the Congress stalwart, questioned whether Gandhi had ever undergone an entrance exam or worked in the private sector.
Referring to the BJP’s victory in the 2014 general elections, KTR highlighted that Gandhi and his party lost their jobs in 2014. He emphasized his own experience, mentioning that he had written several entrance exams and worked in various companies before entering politics.
KTR also accused the Congress of disrespecting the late Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao, asserting that Priyanka Gandhi lacked information on the history of injustice meted out to him. He demanded an apology from Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi to the PV family for the alleged humiliation.
Responding to these allegations, Rahul Gandhi, during a rally in Telangana’s Nizamabad, accused KTR’s family of corruption. He claimed that the ministries generating the most revenue, including land, liquor, and sand, were under the control of the KCR family. Rahul Gandhi contended that if there was no corruption, these ministries would not be dominated by KCR’s family, emphasizing the need for accountability. The exchange underscores the intensifying political rhetoric in the lead-up to the Telangana assembly elections.
