Addressing the media in Nalgonda on Wednesday, Rama Rao said both the Congress and BJP were indulging in political theatrics, while ignoring real issues plaguing people. He questioned Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s silence on the SLBC tunnel collapse that claimed eight lives.

“Rescue efforts were not taken up seriously. The government could not even recover the bodies because of its obsession with commissions (bribes),” he said.

The former Minister also pointed to the collapse of the retaining wall at Sunkishala project in Nalgonda and the government’s continued inaction. He said unable to run the State for last 17 months, the Congress government was indulging in the diversion drama deploying multiple commissions in the name of investigations.

“This government is left with no options but divert attention of people from crucial issues. Even contractors are now protesting at the State Secretariat, indicating the reality of the State,” he said. He pointed out the allegations from Congress’s own MLAs and Ministers that no work happens without bribes under the Congress regime.

He also tore into the failure of the Congress to implement its six guarantees, questioning the status of the promised one tola gold under Kalyana Lakshmi and Rs 4,000 social security pensions.
