TG Cong slams BRS, BJP for giving ‘political colour’ to Gulzar Houz fire

The Telangana Congress has criticized the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for politicizing the tragic fire incident at a commercial complex in Gulzar Houz, which claimed 17 lives on May 19. Speaking at a press conference, Congress leaders expressed their condolences to the victims' families and emphasized the need for accountability and safety reforms rather than political blame games. Congress spokespersons argued that the focus should remain on understanding the root causes of the fire and implementing stringent safety measures to prevent future tragedies. They accused the BRS and BJP of diverting attention from these critical issues by engaging in political mudslinging. The party called for an independent investigation to ensure transparency and justice for those affected. The incident has sparked widespread concern over fire safety regulations in commercial complexes across the state. As the debate intensifies, the Congress has urged all political parties to collaborate on strengthening safety norms and enforcing compliance to protect citizens' lives. They reiterated that the priority should be on healing the community and ensuring that such a catastrophe does not recur.
