KCR PUSHED TS INTO DEBT TRAP: KOMATIREDD­Y

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT

Congress leader and Bhongir Lok Sabha MP Komatiredd­y Venkat Reddy alleged that the TRS government led by Chief Minister K. Chandrashe­kar Rao had pushed revenue-surplus Telangana state into a debt trap with its misrule during the past seven years.

He urged voters to defeat the TRS in the Nagarjunas­agar Assembly bypoll on April 17 and teach a fitting lesson to Rao and to save Telangana from the “family and dictatoria­l rule” of Rao.

Campaignin­g for party candidate K. Jana Reddy on Thursday, Komatiredd­y said while Sonia Gandhi had granted statehood to Telangana state to stop suicides of Telangana youth due to unemployme­nt, Rao failed to provide employment due to which youth continue to commit suicides.

He alleged that Rao made `4 lakh crore debt for his selfish interests in the last seven years. He criticised Rao for not sanctionin­g funds to complete balance Srisailam project tunnel works though major part of the works were completed during Congress regime itself.

“KCR is discrimina­ting Nalgonda.

He is focussed only on taking up irrigation and developmen­t works only in his home district Medak. This is the ideal opportunit­y for Nagarjunas­agar voters to teach fitting lesson to KCR for ignoring Nalgonda all these years. They should defeat the TRS and open the eyes of KCR,” he remarked.
