BJP tells Revanth to focus on farmers’ issues, not Delhi protest

Telangana BJP on Thursday criticised Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and his Cabinet colleagues for travelling to Delhi to protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls while “ignoring the problems faced by farmers due to power cuts and water shortages”.

Addressing a press conference at the party’s State office, party chief spokesperson N.V. Subash mocked the Chief Minister for speaking about democracy and voting rights and alleged that Mr. Revanth Reddy had undermined the sanctity of the electoral process through his involvement in the 2015 “Vote for Note” case.
