Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Wednesday tore into the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) accusing its top leaders of amassing wealth during their nearly decade-long rule while weavers, Gulf migrants and farmers were left struggling.

Mr. Revanth Reddy led a padayatra through the main streets of Sircilla with Cabinet colleagues, party leaders and cadres before addressing a huge public meeting in the textile town on Wednesday evening. TPCC president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud accompanied him.

He laid foundation stones for development works worth ₹345.78 crore in the constituency represented by BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao.

Targeting Mr. Rama Rao, the Chief Minister said Sircilla turned into ‘Urisilla’, alleging that weaver suicides and migration to Gulf countries continued during the BRS regime despite his repeated election from the constituency.
