Ramchander Rao Says Amit Shah Rally Proves Telangana Rejects Congress
Telangana BJP president N. Ramchander Rao on Monday claimed that the massive public turnout at Union Home Minister Amit Shah's 'Save Democracy' padayatra in Hyderabad demonstrated that the state has rejected Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and what he termed the party's "politics of anarchy".
In a series of posts on social media platform X, Rao challenged the Congress and Rahul Gandhi to accept Amit Shah's challenge for an open debate in Parliament. He asked whether the opposition leadership possessed the courage to discuss the special intensive revision of the electoral roll, electronic voting machines, and other key national issues on the floor of the House.
Taking aim at the opposition's mobilising capacity, Rao contrasted the turnout in Hyderabad with the I.N.D.I.A. bloc demonstration held on Sunday in the national capital. He said the Congress could not even fill half of Ramlila Maidan in Delhi despite a month-long mobilisation effort across several states, whereas the Telangana BJP drew lakhs of people for Shah's 'Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy' march.
Rao alleged that while the BJP stood alongside the people, the Congress was aligning itself with anti-India forces and taking orders from them. Directing a comment at Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, Rao posted, "Go and show it your Abbu Jaan in Delhi," asserting that the turnout proved the resilience of nationalists against Congress rule.
Thanking the residents of Hyderabad for participating in the rally, Rao said the crowds demonstrated that citizens stand firmly with the Constitution and Indian democracy. He described Amit Shah as the "Iron Man of New India", crediting the Union Home Minister with crushing Naxalism, overseeing the abrogation of Article 370, and ensuring zero terror attacks in the country.
Rao added that Shah's address during the padayatra, which featured a clarion call to establish a BJP government in Telangana next, had energised the party's rank and file across the state.
