"Not a delimitation meeting but gathering of a crime syndicate": Union MoS Bandi Sanjay slams JAC meeting in Tamil Nadu
Mar 22, 2025
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], March 22 : Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, on Saturday, strongly criticised the all-party meeting held in Tamil Nadu concerning the issue of delimitation, calling it a "meeting of gang thieves" rather than a legitimate political discussion.
In a press release, Kumar condemned the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government, accusing it of being deeply involved in multiple corruption scandals. He specifically pointed to a Rs 1,000 crore liquor scam, calling the Tamil Nadu government "entangled in corruption." Kumar further alleged that the opposition parties' discussions in Chennai were designed to divert public attention from these issues.
"People are ready to defeat DMK in the upcoming elections, and to distract from their failures, they are staging a drama in the name of delimitation," he said, adding that there were no official guidelines on delimitation yet and that any claims from the opposition were baseless.
The BJP leader also criticised the alliance between Congress and the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), claiming that both parties were essentially the same and accusing Congress of attempting to protect KCR's family from corruption charges. He insinuated that the BRS had secretly struck a deal with Congress, resulting in the two parties uniting at the event in Chennai, which he described as a meeting of the "liquor mafia."
"The meeting in Chennai is not about delimitation; it's a gathering of corrupt forces plotting their next move," Kumar stated.
"What's happening in Chennai isn't a political event; it's a criminal syndicate, much like the Chambal Valley," Bandi Sanjay Kumar stated.
On the topic of delimitation, Kumar assured that it would not result in a reduction of seats in the South, dismissing the opposition's claims as nothing more than "building castles in the air." He emphasised that the BJP was poised to rise to power in Telangana and that the party's success in the region was inevitable.
Kumar also attacked former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), saying that KCR's dream of playing a prominent role in national politics was over. "Once, KCR boasted about dominating national politics. Now, he is tending grass in his farmhouse," Kumar quipped.
