People of Telangana now repent voting for the Congress, says KTR

BRS working president KT Rama Rao alleged that people who voted for the Congress were now repenting their decision. Addressing a roadshow at Bichkunda, he urged voters to use the municipal elections to teach the Congress a lesson for failing to fulfil its promises

Nizamabad: Accusing the Congress of deceitful tactics, BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Saturday said people who voted for the party were now repenting their decision.

“You still have an opportunity. Vote for the Car symbol in the municipal elections and teach the Congress a lesson for betraying you with the six guarantees,” he said while addressing a roadshow at Bichkunda.

Rama Rao said when people questioned Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy about the promises made during the Assembly elections, they were being abused.

“He is no longer recognised as Anumula Revanth Reddy but is being called Lagula Thondal Reddy,” he said, recalling that the previous BRS government had extended Rs.10 lakh under the Dalit Bandhu scheme to beneficiaries in Nizam Sagar mandal. Revanth Reddy, he said, had promised Rs.12 lakh under the scheme but had not given even 12 paise. “Should the people still vote for the Congress again?” he asked.

The municipal elections were a good opportunity to teach the Congress a lesson. Though the results might not bring major changes, the verdict would send a strong signal to the Congress, particularly to Revanth Reddy, for failing to fulfil the promises, he said.

Stating that at the rate of Rs.2,500 as monthly financial assistance, Revanth Reddy owed Rs.1 lakh to each woman so far, Rama Rao urged people not to accept Rs.2,000 or Rs.5,000 offered by Congress leaders.

“In case you accept the money and vote for the Congress, Revanth Reddy will not implement the Rs.2,500 scheme or the one tola gold promise,” he told the women, who had gathered in large numbers.

Rama Rao said that during the BRS government’s tenure, works on the Nagamadugu project were taken up and about 20 per cent had been completed. After the Congress came to power, the works were stalled as the contractor was allegedly asked to pay money to Congress leaders. Under the KCR government, farmers earned profits, but under ‘Thondal Reddy’s’ rule, they were struggling to get even one bag of urea, he said.

Except for abusing the BRS president, Revanth Reddy had done nothing meaningful in the last two years. While K Chandrashekhar Rao had not uttered his name even once, Revanth Reddy was abusing him at every possible opportunity, he alleged.

“Do not fall into Revanth Reddy’s abusive language tactic. The real motive behind this is to divert people’s attention from the six guarantees and 420 promises. Chase the Congress MLAs and leaders and question them about the promises,” Rama Rao said.
