BJP making baseless allegations against Rahul Gandhi over Bharat Summit: Mallu Ravi

Hyderabad, Nov 15 (UNI) Nagarkurnool MP Dr Mallu Ravi on Sunday strongly condemned the BJP’s allegations that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had acted against national interests by attending the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad.
In a video statement, Mallu Ravi accused the BJP of making baseless allegations against Rahul Gandhi, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and the Congress party for political gains.
He said the Bharat Summit and the proposed Global Summit were being organised to promote Telangana’s development, attract global investments and strengthen the State’s progress across sectors.
He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a Viksit Bharat could be achieved only when every State is developed. Revanth Reddy was working towards this objective by inviting international delegates and exploring partnerships for Telangana, he added.
Questioning the BJP’s opposition to the initiative, Mallu Ravi asked how welcoming foreign delegates and attracting investments could be described as anti-national.
He alleged that staging protests in front of international delegates visiting Hyderabad to explore investment opportunities was against the interests of the State.
The MP accused BJP leaders of being unsettled by Telangana’s development initiatives and fearing the Congress would return to power under Revanth Reddy.
He warned that irresponsible statements could further erode the party’s political support in the State.
Telangana’s development should take precedence over narrow political interests, Mallu Ravi said.
