KTR lashes out at Congress over ‘Bulldozer Raj’ in Telangana
BRS working president KT Rama Rao pointed out that every section of society is dissatisfied after 10 months of Congress rule
Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao launched a scathing attack on the Congress government in Telangana, accusing it of creating a fearful atmosphere during the Dasara festival with its “Bulldozer Raj.” He stated that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is neglecting public welfare and focusing on projects like the Musi Riverfront Development to siphon off funds.
“We thought Bulldozer Raj was confined to Uttar Pradesh, but Revanth Reddy has brought it to Telangana,” remarked Rama Rao, while addressing Congress leader Mohd Allauddin and others from from Serilingampally who joined the BRS. Rama Rao criticised the Congress government, saying it was failing to deliver on promises. “If K Chandrashekhar Rao was still the Chief Minister, farmers would have received Rythu Bandhu benefit, and women would have got Bathukamma sarees. Now, even DJs have been banned during the festivities,” he remarked.
He pointed out that every section of society is dissatisfied after 10 months of Congress rule. “Rahul Gandhi promised to waive off crop loans upto Rs 2 lakh by December 9 last year, but as the next December approaches, nothing has been done. While Rahul Gandhi and Revanth Reddy got jobs, Telangana’s youth are still waiting,” he said.
The BRS working president also highlighted the unkept promises to women and senior citizens. “Around 1.6 crore women are still waiting for their Rs 2,500 allowance, and senior citizens haven’t seen the promised Rs.4,000 pension. Revanth Reddy promised one tola of gold for brides under Kalyana Lakshmi/Shaadi Mubarak, but they haven’t even received one tola of iron,” he said.
Rama Rao accused the Congress government of focusing on the Rs.1.5 lakh crore Musi Riverfront project for personal gain. “Welfare schemes don’t offer commissions, but beautification projects do. Rahul Gandhi, his brother-in-law Robert Vadra, and Revanth Reddy are plotting to loot public funds under the guise of beautification,” he said, adding that Revanth Reddy was citing fund shortage for implement welfare schemes, but was gearing up to spend a massive Rs 1.5 lakh crore.
The BRS leader said people were feeling the absence of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao amid the Congress’s “Bulldozer Raj.” He also condemned the arrest of former MLA Patnam Narender Reddy, who was detained for supporting farmer protests in Kodangal, Revanth Reddy’s constituency. “If Revanth Reddy cannot convince farmers in his own constituency, how can he lead the State?” he asked, demanding the immediate release of BRS activists.
Rama Rao reaffirmed BRS’s commitment to fight for the poor and against Congress’s injustices. “We fought Modi, and we will continue fighting for the people of Telangana. K Chandrashekhar Rao and BRS are the true protectors of secularism and justice in the State,” he said.
