Congress reaped what it deserved in Maharashtra polls: Harish Rao
Reacting to the verdict of the voters in the two States that went for polls, he strongly criticized the Congress saying that its leadership had reaped what it deserved
Hyderabad: Stating that the Congress had failed miserably to impress upon the electorate in Maharashtra, former Minister and BRS MLA T Harish Rao said on Saturday that the people rejected its promises and five guarantees as a mere gimmick. Reacting to the verdict of the voters in the two States that went for polls, he strongly criticized the Congress saying that its leadership had reaped what it deserved. He also criticised the BJP for its vindictive politics. Harish Rao pointed out that the Congress’s failure to implement schemes such as the Mahalakshmi scheme, which promised Rs.2,500 to women in Telangana even while promising Rs 3,000 in Maharashtra, along with the unfulfilled promises of Rythu Bharosa, Aasara pensions, and farmer loan waivers in Telangana, had a considerable impact on the election outcome.
He noted that the people of Maharashtra, particularly those from the regions with a predominant presence of people from Telangana, especially Mumbai, Solapur, Pune and Nanded, were well aware of the Congress’s deceptions. He also lashed out at the BJP’s vindictive tactics, including arrests and false cases against Hemant Soren in Jharkhand. He stated that the people of Jharkhand had rejected the BJP’s attempts to divide the party and had instead supported Soren’s leadership. Harish Rao congratulated Hemant Soren on his victory, highlighting that the public does not endorse the BJP’s retaliatory policies.
Harish Rao called for Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to focus on fulfilling the six guarantees promised to the people of Telangana over a year ago. He urged the Chief Minister to prioritize governance and deliver on the commitments made to the public.
