Hyderabad: Dubbing Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy as an ‘iron leg’ that brought ill luck, BRS working president KT Rama Rao said the Congress had failed miserably wherever the Chief Minister campaigned.
The Chief Minister derived sadistic pleasure in criticizing the BRS for failing to win seats in parliament elections. He campaigned rigorously in Maharashtra but the Congress lost and similarly, the party scored a grand zero in Delhi Assembly elections, the BRS working president said.
Addressing BRS party leaders and workers from Vikarabad at Telangana Bhavan here on Saturday, Rama Rao said: “Thanks to Revanth Reddy the Congress lost credibility in the State and will not come to power in the next 15 years.”
The BRS government had sanctioned a medical college and nursing college to Vikarabad. Similarly, 90 percent of the Palamuru-Rangareddy projects were completed despite the legal hurdles created by Congress leaders. The Congress was deliberately delaying the remaining works with ulterior motives, he said.
He called upon the party leaders to put up a united fight in the local body elections and win all the six mandals in Vikarabad constituency.
Taking the battle to the Chief Minister’s bastion, the BRS was heading to Kodangal in a couple of days.
“Let us speak about the issues in Lagacharla, Rotibanda thanda and Hakimpet in the Chief Minister’s Kodangal constituency. There is a strong political wave favouring the BRS in the State and the cadre should capitalize the opportunity,” he said.
He recalled how BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao had warned the people about voting for the Congress. As warned by the BRS supremo, the Rythu Bandhu was not being implemented and accordingly farmers were pulling up the Congress government, he said.
“I still stand by my word on the crop loan waiver scheme. If farmers in any one village in the State declared that 100 percent crop loans have been waived in their village, I will step down from politics,” Rama Rao said.
The Congress government had deceived the farming community even in extending assistance under Rythu Bharosa. Like the farming sector, the real estate sector was in doldrums and women too were unhappy over the Congress rule, he said.
“The Congress is implementing one scheme efficiently and that is the commission scheme. Complaints are pouring in from all sections over rampant corruption and commission practices in the Congress government,” Rama Rao said.
Both the Congress and BJP were ruining Telangana. Despite both the parties winning eight MPs each, they secured zero allocations for the State in the union budget, he said.
The BRS working president also said that with defectors shifting loyalties to other parties, the BRS had got cleansed.
Now, the true fighters and supporters were left in the party. Former Ministers P Sabitha Indra Reddy, Sunitha Laxma Reddy and MLA Kova Lakshmi among others were humiliated by the Congress government in the Assembly but they did not give up.
All they wanted was to speak in the House but the Congress government, which claims to protect democracy, did not permit them. The Congress feared that the BRS members would rip them apart on people’s issues and failure to fulfill the six guarantees, he added.
