Medak: Former Minister T HarishRaosaid it would be considered as Chief Minister A RevanthReddy accepting his failure if he did not accept his challenge for a debate on the Congress government’s promises at the Martyr’s Memorial in the State Assembly on Friday.
During a war of words between RevanthReddyand HarishRao at election nomination rallies, the latter had challenged RevanthReddy to an open debate on the promises the Congress made during the Assembly election campaign.
Addressing the election nomination rally of BRSMedak candidate P VenkatramiReddy in Medak on Thursday, HarishRao said RevanthReddy should submit his resignation to the Governor on August 15 if he failed to implement all the promises.
If the Congress government implemented all the schemes successfully, HarishRao said he would submit his resignation to the Assembly Speaker.
Accusing the Chief Minister of reading out speech copies written by others without checking facts, the former Minister said RevanthReddy’s speech during his Medak visit a few days ago was full of lies.
He had claimed that Indira Gandhi brought BHEL to Medak when she was elected to the LokSabha in 1980 from here.
However, the foundation for BHEL was laid in 1952. Stating that RevanthReddy was oblivious to the development Medak had witnessed during the rule of K Chandrashekhar Rao, HarishRao said the BRS government had brought rail connectivity to Medak besides bringing a medical college.
When Indira Gandhi failed to keep her promise of creating Medak district, ChandrashekharRao had realised it and also built the Collectorate and SP office buildings within no time.
