Let’s meet Modi, discuss Central funds for state, Sanjay tells KCR

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT

state BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar challenged Chief Minister K. Chandrashe­kar Rao to accompany him to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to know about the facts regarding funds released by the Centre to the state government for welfare schemes.

Rao has been misleading people with blatant lies that the Centre was not giving funds when the Modi government was liberally funding welfare schemes and developmen­t works like rice distributi­on through ration shops, constructi­on of houses

under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna, toilets, roads and water supply, he alleged. Sanjay said that Rao only attaches his photos to the central schemes claiming that they were his government’s programmes.

Sanjay was addressing a public meeting at Yellareddy in Kamareddy district on the 21st day of his Praja Sangram Yatra. He was given a rousing welcome from party activists in Yellareddy and Lingampet mandals. Some youth joined the party in the presence of Sanjay, Kamareddy district president Aruna Tara, former MLA Ravinder Reddy and padayatra in-charge Manohar Reddy.

Minister of state for chemicals and fertiliser­s Bhagwanth Khuba, who participat­ed in the padayatra, criticised the TRS government and recalled that Rao had in 2014 declared that the state would be developed as ‘Bangaru Telangana’. He has not fulfilled even one promise, he alleged.

The minister said that it was unfortunat­e that five farmers from Yellareddy constituen­cy had committed suicide.
