Hyderabad, BJP spokesperson Krishna Saagar Rao, has said that Chief Minister KCR has come a full circle from demanding 17th September to be celebrated as a remarkable day in the history of Telangana, to proclaiming Nizam as a great ruler on the floor of Telangana legislative assembly. It’s a rare feat. One doesn’t get to see the magnum opus of this size of a swing and spin, by a mass leader of a separate statehood movement, which actually rose with the inspiration it drew from the armed struggle by the peasants of Telangana against Nizam and his militia ‘razakars’, he remarked.
In a lengthy article, Rao alleged that KCR is on a massive trip of miss adventurism to mislead the people of the state by twisting history. He is doing injustice to an entire generation by promoting his personal and politically convenient interpretation of history as factual. This degree of manipulation purely for petty political expediency is quite unsettling and shocking. His statement that Nizam deserved better treatment and people did not understand the greatness of Nizam are downright anti people and bordering anti nationalism.
These constant rants of praising Nizam by KCR, his family and few of his party leaders actually raises serious doubts on their personal integrity and nationalism. How can a constitutional head of a state call a foreign oppressor, who has through his militia killed thousands of Indians, as ‘Great’, he questioned.
