Union Minister and Telangana BJP State President Kishan Reddy strongly condemned the violent attack allegedly carried out by Youth Congress workers on the Telangana BJP State Headquarters. Labeling the attackers as “goons and rowdies,” Kishan Reddy criticised the Congress Party for its involvement in the incident, accusing it of resorting to “vindictive and hate-filled politics” under its governance in Telangana.
“It is disgraceful that Congress workers carried out this attack right at the BJP office gate in the presence of the police. Congress goons, accompanied by police, used stones and sticks to attack the office and BJP workers, while the police stood by as mere spectators,” Kishan Reddy said, slamming the inaction of the authorities.
The Union Minister further accused the Congress Party of escalating vindictive and hate-driven politics in Telangana since coming to power. He alleged that the Congress had a history of engineering communal riots to serve its political interests and was now resorting to malicious acts out of frustration, as its governance had lost public trust.
The minister also questioned the involvement of the CM, stating, “It is impossible for such an attack on the BJP office, injuring our workers, to occur without the knowledge of the Chief Minister.”
Issuing a stern warning, Kishan Reddy said, “If BJP workers retaliate against your intolerant actions, the few remaining leaders of the Congress across the country will find it impossible to step out. Do not mistake our patience for weakness. We do not encourage violent politics, but we will not tolerate attacks on us.”
Referring to the recent controversy involving BJP’s former MP Ramesh Bidhuri’s comments on Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi, Reddy criticised the Congress for continuing attacks despite Bidhuri’s apology. He questioned the Congress Party’s moral standing, citing instances where Gandhi-Nehru family members made derogatory remarks about the Prime Minister in the past, yet the BJP refrained from violent protests.
“If we choose to respond in kind, no Congress leader will dare walk on the streets of this country. But that is not our culture. Change your ways. Beware!” Reddy concluded, holding the state government accountable for any further consequences arising from such attacks.
