In a bold statement from Hyderabad, Telangana Minister Ponnam Prabhakar poured cold water on Bharatiya Janata Party’s aspirations to dominate the state. On Monday, the Transport and Backward Classes Welfare Minister labeled BJP’s power-grab dreams as unrealistic pipe dreams.
Reacting to BJP’s post-West Bengal strategy targeting Telangana, Prabhakar told media personnel that such notions are pure fantasy. He warned that Telangana’s voters reject leaders who insult the state’s creation and bifurcation history.
Drawing a line in the sand, Prabhakar invoked Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s Constitution as an unbreakable barrier to BJP’s vision of eradicating Congress from India. ‘Congress, the pillar of democracy, will reclaim the reins of power,’ he prophesied, criticizing BJP’s reliance on division and religion-based politics.
The minister extended hearty congratulations to Congress stalwarts for their sweeping success in Kerala under Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Mallikarjun Kharge’s leadership. ‘Our commitment to democratic processes means we stay with the masses through thick and thin,’ he stressed, while monitoring outcomes in other states.
Joining the chorus, Industries and IT Minister D. Sridhar Babu highlighted how election verdicts have reshaped the political landscape. Congress’s Kerala triumph exemplifies its steadfast defense of constitutional principles, regardless of being in or out of government.
Babu lauded the UDF alliance’s victory as a voter mandate against polarization. He expressed gratitude to party cadres and electorate, forecasting a repeat win in Telangana under Revanth Reddy. With promises to be delivered methodically, Congress is gearing up aggressively for 2029 national elections.
