Hyderabad: Senior BRS leader and MLC Dr. Sravan Dasoju wrote an open letter to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday, seeking his intervention over Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s alleged conduct in public life and the Assembly.
In the letter, Dasoju accused the Chief Minister of undermining democratic norms and constitutional values. He alleged that the political culture in Telangana had deteriorated under Revanth Reddy’s leadership.
Dasoju claimed that the Chief Minister used abusive and unparliamentary language during Assembly proceedings. He referred to an alleged instance where Revanth Reddy addressed opposition members with derogatory terms on the floor of the House.
The BRS leader said such language eroded the dignity of the Assembly. He argued that it stood in contrast to Rahul Gandhi’s national messaging centred on harmony and democratic values.
Dasoju also alleged that the Chief Minister repeatedly used violent metaphors while addressing political opponents. He said such remarks created fear among local representatives and intimidated the opposition.
He further claimed that Revanth Reddy made vulgar remarks about a former Chief Minister in the presence of school children. Dasoju said such behaviour risked normalising abusive language in public life.
Sravan Dasoju letter accuses Congress of betraying promise of change
In his letter, Dasoju said the change promised by the Congress had turned into what he described as a “gully-isation” of governance. He alleged corruption, broker-driven administration and harassment of Adivasi farmers.
The BRS leader warned that Rahul Gandhi’s silence on the issue could be seen as tacit approval. He urged the Congress leadership to act in line with Gandhian values and restrain the Chief Minister.
Dasoju said continued inaction would damage the Congress party’s credibility beyond Telangana. He warned that public resentment could reflect in future electoral outcomes.
Concluding the letter, Dasoju called for the immediate restoration of democratic dignity in Telangana. He said democracy could endure only if leaders respected constitutional limits and public decency.
