Expressing discontent with the BJP’s approach towards the State here on Monday, Krishank highlighted Modi’s extensive tours in the State for election-related activities but criticised the lack of tangible action. “The Prime Minister made numerous promises for Telangana while visiting Hyderabad during the Assembly elections three months ago. But so far, no concrete steps have been initiated to fulfill them,” he pointed out.

The BRS leader pointed out that Prime Minister Modi made siginificant allocations for development programmes in other States. He said the Prime Minister sanctioned over Rs 1 lakh crore for development activities in Gujarat, besides Rs 19,510 crore in Uttar Pradesh in addition to Rs 17,000 crore in Ayodhya and another Rs 13,000 crore in Varanasi. He said significant allocations were made to election-bound States of Odisha, Jammu and Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Goa, and Lakshadweep, while Telangana has been left out of such initiatives.

Terming BJP as a Big Jhoota Party, Krishank criticised the delay in establishment of the Turmeric Board and other promises made by the BJP leaders. He slammed the Congress over its failure to question the BJP in the Parliament for not fulfilling the promises made to the State. “By asking people to elect the Congress candidates to question the Centre in the Parliament, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is admitting that his party will not come to power at the Centre. However, he himself has not visited the Parliament even five times during his term,” he said.
