Telangana Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu on Monday hit back at BRS over its criticism of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's Hitler remark, saying the CM was only emphasizing decisiveness and speed of action while talking about HYDRAA.

The chief minister meant that law would be strictly enforced against land encroachers, Sridhar Babu told reporters.

He said the BRS is trying to defame the Congress government by harping on the word 'Hitler'.

Recalling the allegations of phone-tapping during the BRS regime, Sridhar Babu asked if it was democratic functioning.

He also played a video of former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao related to his tenure as CM, where KCR is heard saying 'I wanted to be Hitler. I don't feel shame.'

Citing the video, the minister asked whether KCR implemented the ideology of Hitler when he was the chief minister.
