Congress used Muslims only as a vote bank: KCR

Hyderabad: Alleging that the Congress only used Muslims as vote bank, BRS president and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday asked under whose watch the demolition of Babri Masjid happened.

Rao, who addressed an election rally at Nizamabad, made a veiled reference to Rahul Gandhi’s ‘mohabbat ki dukan’ comments. If one is secular, it should be reflected in one’s work, said Rao, also known as KCR. “We (BRS) treat everyone equally irrespective of religion and community. Congress had used you (Muslims) only as a vote bank. Even today, the Congress does drama. They say we will close the ‘dukaan’ (shop) of hate. I am asking under whose watch Babri Masjid’s martyrdom happened? Who got it done? It needs to be understood,” he said.

“They will make you listen to sweet words... If you are secular, you should remain secular throughout life. You should express it through your work,” he said.
