Siddipet: Finance Minister T Harish Rao said the BJP was trying to project falsehoods as the truth by spreading it hundreds of times on social media platforms.
Addressing the new office bearers of TRS Narayanraopet mandal on Wednesday, the Minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi disappointed the entire Telangana with his remarks on Andhra Pradesh bifurcation in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. Describing the remarks as disappointing and demotivating to the aspirations of the people of Telangana who always wanted separate State, Harish Rao said the BJP never had any love towards Telangana and its people. He appealed to the party workers to spread messages on all platforms on the false propaganda of the BJP against Telangana.
Pointing out that Modi was trying to project a falsehood that Andhra had lost because of the bifurcation while Telangana gained, the Minister said the BJP government at the Centre merged seven mandals of Telangana with Andhra Pradesh before the first government was formed in Telangana in 2014, besides handing over the lower Sileru project to Andhra Pradesh.
Stating that Modi had made such vicious comments on State bifurcation at least four times since he became Prime Minister in 2014, the senior TRS leader called upon the party workers to counter Modi’s statement by spreading educative messages, videos and speeches. He said the BJP government was disinvesting from all the Public Sector companies which will result in SC and ST population losing the right of reservations.
The Minister further said that the union government had allocated just Rs 12,800 crore in the budget for SCs and STs though 40 per cent of the Indian population belonged to these two backward classes. Except copying the TRS government’s welfare schemes, the Modi government failed to come up with any innovative programmes, leave alone the talk of allocating more funds to Daltis and Tribals, he added.
