BJP, Cong. together in corruption: KCR

KCR is a liar, says Bhatti

-

Alleging that BJP and Congress are twins in corruption, BRS president and former CM K. Chandrasek­har Rao wondered why Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not sending the Central agencies to probe the collection of ‘commission­s’ in the name of “RR tax” by the Congress.

Addressing a gathering during a roadshow held in Kothagudem town of Bhadradri Kothagudem district, as part of the BRS election campaign on Tuesday night, Mr. Rao came down heavily on both the BJP and Congress accusing them of being allies in corruption.

Referring to Mr. Modi’s reported “RR tax” jibe during a public meeting in Zaheerabad, Mr. Rao asked,

“Why did not Modi send the Central agencies ED and I-T to probe the collection of commission­s by people in the helm of ažairs in Telangana?” The inaction implies that both the BJP and Congress are hand in glove, he charged.

Listing out the welfare programmes implemente­d by the previous BRS government

for the uplift of tribal people, he said the highest number of pattas for podu land were given in the tribal majority Bhadradri Kothagudem district.

He said that Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) marched on the path of progress accruing bene ts to the workforce during the BRS rule.

Deputy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said that BRS was built on a foundation of lies and its chief KCR lied to such an extent that people rejected him outright.

Addressing a roadshow in Kusumanchi, he said that PM Narendra Modi was similar to KCR, when it came to lying. It was time to teach Mr. Modi a lesson in Parliament elections and make the BRS, which had become irrelevant in Telangana, bite the dust.

He alleged that Mr. Modi was selling ož the country’s assets to crony capitalist­s, akin to what KCR did to Telangana’s assets.
