‘Watchdog’ BRS failed to curb stray dogs menace: BJP

HYDERABAD: BJP's state vice-president and former MLA N.V.S.S. Prabhakar demanded that minister K.T. Rama Rao resign for failing to provide good municipal administration, particularly in preventing the growing incidents of dog bites in the city, which are causing panic among the people.

Prabhakar, along with former MLA Chinthala Ramchandra Reddy and official spokesperson N.V. Subhash, told reporters at the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Bhavan on Thursday that the BRS leaders assured the people of Telangana that they will play a watchdog role in the Telangana state, but they had failed to control stray dogs, resulting in the unfortunate death of a four-year-old boy in Amberpet.

“If KTR refuses to resign, Chief Minister K.Chandrashekar Rao should dismiss him from the Cabinet,” he said.

Prabhakar claimed that the BJP had  exposed the "unholy coalition of BRS and MIM" in the MLC elections. "BRS misled the people by pretending to be maintaining a distance from the MIM. We are strategically not contesting in the MLC polls to expose the nexus between BRS and MIM," he said.
