Congress, BJP proved to be utter flops: CM KCR

Chandrashekhar Rao said there was an urgent need to bring a definitive change in the country, and that he would take the initiative at the appropriate time

Hyderabad: TRS President and Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Monday said the two national parties, Congress and BJP, had proved to be utter flops in governing the country. “They failed to put the nation on the path of development and now, it is time for a new political leadership to take the country on the right path, and I may be the one to lead the alternative to BJP and Congress if the need arises,” he said.

“I am not criticising any individual. But the approach and policies of both these parties has been wrong all through. We need political leadership that creates wealth and distributes it to the people,” the Chief Minister said, addressing mediapersons after releasing the TRS election manifesto for GHMC elections at Telangana Bhavan here.

Chandrashekhar Rao said there was an urgent need to bring a definitive change in the country, and that he would take the initiative at the appropriate time. “Moves have already been made to create a new political platform that would serve as an alternative to both BJP and Congress at the national level. I am in touch with many leaders from regional parties including Chief Ministers of several States, and have already shared my plan to have a conclave of all non-BJP party leaders in Hyderabad in the second week of December,” he said, adding that everyone knows he was a stubborn person when it comes to achieving a goal as happened in the case of separate Statehood.

Questioning the rationale behind selling stakes in Public Sector Undertakings and national organisations such as LIC and railways, the Chief Minister said: “For whose benefit are BSNL or LIC or for that matter, the Railways being made a scapegoat?”

Wondering why successive Central governments in the past failed to manage the affairs of these PSUs, the Chief Minister assured all the support to employees and workers of Central PSUs (CPSU) in the latter’s fight against privatisation.
