BJP decries TRS apathy to ‘Run for Unity’
BJP decries TRS apathy to ‘Run for Unity’, TRS had been repeatedly speaking about the importance of September 17 during the agitation for separate state.
Criticises the pink party for not participating in the 139th birth anniversary celebrations of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
Hyderabad: The Telangana unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday criticised the TRS government for not participating in the 139th birth anniversary celebrations of India's first Home Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The Central government had announced that October 31, be observed as Rashtriya Ekta Divas across the country.
At a media conference on Friday, senior party leader Nagam Janardhan Reddy said the TS Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and his government were playing vote bank politics and had kept away from the celebrations to appease the their ally AIMIM.
He said it was regrettable that the TRS government which had issued a circular directing its officials to observe the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel as the Rashtriya Ekta Divas ignored the Run for Unity. None of the Ministers bothered even to mark their presence at the event, he said.
TRS had been repeatedly speaking about the importance of September 17 during the agitation for separate state.
But, post bifurcation and once in power, it was now silent on celebrating September 17 as Liberation Day as official function, he said.
Calling the TS CM to change his thinking on the issue, Nagam said absence of the Telangana Ministers during the Unity Pledge, administered by the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday, was nothing more than an insult to Sardar Patel.
