Andhra Pradesh Tourism Minister R K Roja made noteworthy remarks about the political landscape of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana during an appearance on TV9. Roja specifically commented on Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, suggesting that his transition into Andhra Pradesh politics was prompted by a lack of direction in Telangana. Roja also stated thar Revanth Reddy sent YS Sharmila to Andhra Pradesh politics. Regarding allegations made against CM Jagan and herself, Roja dismissed them and humorously offered to order fish soup for Revanth if needed.
Roja advocated for the merger of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, emphasizing that Andhra Pradesh should receive its rightful share as per the bifurcation act. Criticizing the Congress party for failing to grant special category status to Andhra Pradesh, Roja asserted that love alone from the Congress was insufficient without addressing bifurcation issues. Addressing YS Sharmila, Roja accused her of engaging in political theatrics for personal gain, suggesting that her involvement in Andhra Pradesh politics was solely aimed at benefiting from Rahul Gandhi’s influence.
