Reacting to Revanth Reddy’s remarks, BJP leader Bandi Sanjay Kumar Bandi asked why was the Telangana CM trying to give a clean chit to Pakistan on the surgical strike and Pulwama attack

Amid the ‘Congress and Pakistan’ row, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Saturday stressed that the country needs to be “without” Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP because “they answer everything with ‘Jai Sri Ram’.” The Telangana CM also raised doubts about whether the surgical strike actually happened.

Reddy further flagged the “failure” of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) over the Pulwama incident and went on to claim that PM Modi reaped “political benefit” from the surgical strike after the Pulwama incident.

“…For Modi, everything is politics, everything is about winning elections. So, Modi’s thinking is not right for the country. So, the country needs to be without BJP, without Modi now. They answer everything with ‘Jai Sri Ram’. Pulwama incident is a classic example. They have failed. What is the IB doing? What is the Intelligence network doing? Modi ji attempted political benefit from the surgical strike after Pulwama incident,” Reddy said.

My question to him is – What are you doing? Why did Pulwama incident happen? Why did you let it happen? What are you doing about internal security? Why did you not use agencies like IB, R&AW? It is your failure…Nobody knows to date if a surgical strike actually took place. So, internal security is Congress’ responsibility. We are not ready to leave the country in just anyone’s hands,” the Congress leader further said.

Reacting to Revanth Reddy’s remarks, BJP leader Bandi Sanjay Kumar Bandi asked why was the Telangana CM trying to give a clean chit to Pakistan on the surgical strike and Pulwama attack.

“The other day, he gets praise from Pakistan newspaper. Today he questions Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi on National security. This Congress which is responsible for Gokul chat, Mecca Masjid, Dilshuknagar, Lumbini Park Bomb blasts in Hyderabad should be last one to speak about national security. Sooner or later congress might say, even these blasts didn’t happen. It’s unfortunate and didn’t expect Telangana CM to question the sacrifices of Indian army just for cheap political mileage,” Bandi wrote in an X post.
