Telangana BJP slams CM Revanth Reddy’s remarks on national security

Hyderabad, May 21 (UNI) BJP Legislative Party leader Eleti Maheshwar Reddy strongly condemned Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s remarks, alleging that the Modi-led central government yielded to pressure from former US President Donald Trump in its response to Pakistan.
In a media statement issued on Wednesday, Maheshwar Reddy described the comments as “ignorant, irresponsible, and bordering on treason.”
He said that the Indian Army’s retaliatory strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan following the Pulwama and Pahalgam attacks stand as evidence of the Modi government’s firm stance against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.
He accused CM Revanth Reddy of parroting a script written by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, aimed at appeasing party leadership while undermining national security.
Maheshwar Reddy alleged that Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, have repeatedly made statements in a “pro-Pakistan tone,” which he said reflects the party’s “bankrupt politics.”
He also criticised Congress’s historical handling of Kashmir, blaming leaders like Nehru and Indira Gandhi for past policy failures, and credited the Modi government for decisive actions like the abrogation of Article 370.
Defending Union Minister Kishan Reddy, Maheshwar Reddy highlighted his record in combating terrorism and public service, contrasting it with CM Revanth Reddy’s “inaction” during recent local tragedies like the Gulzar House fire.
