KT Rama Rao, the working president of Telangana’s Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), said Congress is “hellbent on destroying regional parties" in a social media post on Saturday.

He also said that election results show that national parties like the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) need regional parties. The election results of Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly elections are being released along with results of bypolls to several Lok Sabha and legislative assemblies.

KT Rama Rao said national parties like the Congress and the BJP were “piggybacking" on the gains made by regional parties and urged them to see the “writing on the wall".

“The writing is on the wall! Today’s Maharashtra and Jharkhand election results have sent a clear message: Regional parties have always been and will continue to be the future of Indian politics. Congress party fails to become a strong opposition but is hellbent on destroying regional parties. This has become a recurring theme," he said in a social media post.

“I reiterate, BJP is surviving only because of Congress’s inability and incompetence. Both the national parties are shamelessly piggybacking on regional parties’ hard work and commitment," he further added.

He also demanded that Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy of the Congress fulfil his promises made to the people of the state.

“Also, a word of advice to CM Revanth Reddy. Your campaigns, speeches, bags and choppers couldn’t save your party from utter failure, now can you focus on your primary duty as the CM and deliver the six guarantees that you promised to Telangana public more than a year ago," he said.
