KTR came down heavily on the Congress government for the raw deal meted out to minority communities by denying them due representation in the State cabinet
BRS working president KT Rama Rao pointed out that minorities were deprived of a cabinet berth in the government for the first time after 1953
KTR said Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s RSS roots were behind the raw deal meted out to minorities
The Chief Minister was taking vengeance against minorities for the overwhelming support extended by them to the BRS during the Assembly polls
The Congress had used the name of Mohammed Shabbir Ali to woo the minorities during the elections
But the government opted to appoint him as an advisor instead of inducting a minority leader in the cabinet
Such a treatment would amount to insulting the minority community
The Congress leadership was vying with the BJP in denying the minorities of their due. The minorities were viewed just as vote bank by the Congress, he said
