Telangana BJP leaders on Tuesday promised that if their party candidates are elected in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, they will ensure that the next government led by Modi at the Centre provides sufficient funds for the developmen­t of the State, which will be much more than the ₹7 lakh crore given in the last 10 years.

spoke at a farmers connect public meeting held in Keesara, MedchalMal­kajgiri district on Tuesday. They said that people have

not been able to experience any change following the transfer of power from Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) to the Congress party following the State Assembly elections2­023 held in December last.

“Nothing has changed for the people as the promised guarantees are not being implemente­d on one pretext or other with new conditions being enforced like linking with white ration cards. What happened to the filling up of vacant posts, unemployme­nt doles or financial assistance to women? We are also witnessing power cuts,” charged Mr. Laxman.

He tried to convince the gathering that a change in the fortunes of the people can be brought forth only by supporting the saffron party. Mr. Rajender was more caustic accusing Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy of becoming arrogant after coming to power. While former Chief Minister K. Chandrasek­har Rao acted like a ‘Tughlaq’, Mr. Reddy was talking like a ‘broker’, he said and dared them to put up candidates against him in Malkajgiri constituen­cy from where he was contesting. It was “impossible” to implement the ₹2 lakh farm loan waiver by the Congress government and challenged the Chief Minister to implement it.
