BJP will give good CM: Kishan

Says PM works without break, CM never goes to Secretaria­t

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT HYDERABAD, AUG. 21

Union tourism minister G. Kishan Reddy was accorded a rousing reception by BJP leaders, activists and people on his maiden visit to the city after his elevation as Cabinet minister in the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre. His three-day ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra’ concluded here on Saturday.

The yatra passed through Amberpet, Musheeraba­d, Ameerpet in the city before reaching the party office at Nampally on Saturday.

Thousands of party workers and people cheered Kishan Reddy, standing on either side of the roads. The main junctions and road-dividers were flooded with hoardings and flexies welcoming Kishan Reddy. He addressed several roadside meetings.

He took a dig at the TRS government and Chief Minister K. Chandrashe­kar Rao in his speeches while highlighti­ng the achievemen­ts of Modi government at the Centre over the past seven years and especially during the

Covid-19 pandemic.

“Modi and KCR came to power at the same time in

2014. While Modi worked day and night without taking leave or a holiday for a single day, KCR spends most of his time at his farmhouse or in Pragathi Bhavan. He never meets people. He doesn’t go to the Secretaria­t,” he said.

Stating that BJP will bring a change and end Chandrashe­kar Rao’s “dictatoria­l, family and corrupt” rule, Kishan Reddy said, “We will provide transparen­t and good governance. The BJP will give a Chief Minister whose doors are open to the public all the time. A CM who is always accessible to people to hear their grievances and resolve them.”
