New Delhi: Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Telangana on Thursday, December 7. He paid obeisance to Sonia Gandhi at the swearing-in ceremony. But Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, who was sitting next to him, did not bow down. Did Revanth not bow down to Kharge, who is older than Sonia, because he was a ‘Dalit’?
BJP’s IT cell head Amit Malviya tweeted, “After taking oath, Revanth Reddy and his wife touched the feet of Sonia Gandhi and took blessings. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s part of our culture. But he only shook hands with Kharge ji. Age or position, he is senior. Is it because it is Dalit or rubber stamp president? Or both?’Revanth took oath in front of a gathering of lakhs of people at the LB Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and former party president Rahul Gandhi were also present. The Congress won 64 seats in the 119-member Telangana Assembly. The CPI won one seat. The BRS won 39 seats. Among others, BJP has 8 seats. AIMIM won 7 seats. Despite the defeat in three states, the Hath Shibir has seen success in only one state. And this time the BJP has poked the Chief Minister of that state.
