Business in distress in Telangana under Congress rule: Harish Rao

While addressing party workers at a preparatory meeting in Gajwel on Sunday ahead of the BRS Silver Jubilee celebrations, Harish Rao recounted an emotional encounter with a young man in Siddipet who was devastated over his inability to afford medical treatment for his ailing mother.

Siddipet: Former Minister T Harish Rao said business had come to a halt in the State after the Congress came to power.

Addressing the party cadre during a preparatory meeting in Gajwel on Sunday ahead of the BRS Silver Jubilee meeting, Harish Rao said a youngster, who met him recently in Siddipet, was inconsolable as he could not mobilise funds to provide treatment to his ailing mother. He said the youngster could not sell his lands even after months of efforts as business had come to a total halt in Siddipet town. It was not just in Siddipet, everyone was struggling in the State after the Congress came to power. People were now ready to dethrone Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy if elections were conducted at any time from now, he said.

Stating that he had noticed many ‘To Let’ boards hanging on commercial establishments along the main road in Gajwel town, indicating business was in distress, Harish Rao said Revanth Reddy had spoiled everything after coming to power. The prevailing circumstances would favour the BRS in the local body polls since the people were already fed up with Congress, he added.
