Revanth speaking out of fear of defeat: Aruna LAXMAN: CONG. SPREADING FALSEHOOD
BJP national vice president D.K. Aruna flayed Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and said instead of delivering on his promises he was visiting the district to criticise her and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Chief Minister, she opined, had come six times to the district indicating that he fears Congress defeat in Mahbubnagar.
Addressing the media, she said, “Apart from abusing me the CM has entrusted the task to his acolytes also. The CM is on a temple spree and is making promises in the name of gods in view of the elections. They are trying to cheat the people. The CM has failed to keep his promise of farm loan waiver by December 9. The pledged `4,000 pension, allowance for women, unemployment dole for youth, `500 bonus for paddy have not been given and Congress has no right to seek votes.” In contrast, Aruna opined the BJP was seeking votes on the basis of funds allocated by the Centre to Telangana for developing railway lines and national highways. “We brought CAA, constructed a temple in Ayodhya, abolished Article 370, banned Triple Talaq and introduced 33% reservation for women in legislative bodies. The Centre is giving mudra loans, free ration to the poor and is providing input subsidies to farmers. What is the state government doing?” she asked.
BJP OBC Morcha national vice president Dr K. Laxman said the Congress was spreading fear among the people that the BJP is seeking votes in the name of religion. He questioned as to what Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is doing in the state when he visits temples.
Addressing the media in Hyderabad, he said, "The Chief Minister is swearing by the Gods to whichever district he visits and is promising to waive farm loans of `2 lakh after the elections. He is spreading falsehood that the BRS is trying to benefit the BJP by fielding weak candidates.”
