Hyderabad: Telangana BJP Spokesperson N.V. Subash has strongly criticized the Revanth Reddy-led Congress government for a Government Order (GO) issued by allowing members of the Muslim community to leave work an hour early to break their fast during Ramzan.
“If this isn’t appeasement, then what is?” Subash questioned, emphasizing that while the BJP respects all religions and welcomes gestures of goodwill, such privileges should be extended to all communities equally. “Hindus observe fasts during religious festivals, as do Christians and others. Why doesn’t the government offer similar concessions to them?” he asked.
Subash also accused so-called secular parties of double standards, pointing out that the same government enforces strict restrictions on Diwali firecrackers and imposes excessive regulations on Ganesh Chaturthi and Kali Puja pandals during Dussehra. “Such selective favoritism is unacceptable,” he asserted.
Condemning what he called the Congress government’s divisive policies, Subash contrasted them with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s governance, which follows the principle of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas—ensuring that welfare schemes benefit all citizens without bias.
‘’The Telangana Congress government’s move is not about inclusivity; it is about vote-bank politics,” he said. “The BJP will continue to oppose such discriminatory policies.”
