Senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai known for his pro-left ideology is a strong critic of the Narendra Modi and BJP.Despite this, the national journalist’s comments pushed KCR into a tough time.In his video, Rajdeep Sardesai mentioned the words KCR told his fellow leaders off record.
His statement that KCR was ready to bear the expenses of the Lok Sabha elections for the opposition provided they make him the Prime Minister candidate.
He made this comment in a talk in his own YouTube channel.
Funding the elections in the country takes hundreds of crores and one person coming forward to do so raises many questions about his wealth.
Rajdeep Sardesai’s comments created a sensation in Telangana politics.The opposition party Congress is breathing fire on this and asking the CM for a response.
The ever- ready Opposition in Telangana immediately picked up the thread and began questioning the source of funds.They alleged that the wealth that KCR was promising to use was an ill-gotten one.They demanded that KCR declare the source of his riches.The Congress and the BJP have said that their allegations of KCR amassing huge wealth were vindicated by Rajdeep Sardesai’s comments.
Now everyone is discussing KCR’s financial status as he allegedly said he is ready to fund the elections.Taking care of elections in one state is a costly affair and we have seen how the Munugode elections became the most costly by-election in the country.
This tells us how much money goes into elections.
Whenever the BJP attacks KCR, it alleges that the family ruling had spoiled the state.
Now the senior journalist’s comments added fuel to the criticism.The opposition leaders often allege that Telangana had a budget in surplus but the budget is in minus as the KCR family indulged in corruption.
Meanwhile, the BRS is clearly on the defensive.KTR said that though he respected Rajdeep as a politician, these comments were uncalled for.They have no substance.He refuted the claim that KCR wanted himself to be declared the prime ministerial candidate to take on the might of Narendra Modi.
BRS leaders like Danam Nagender and Gyadari Kishore too went ballistic and questioned Rajdeep’s credentials.
