BJP will change Constitution, abolish quota: CM
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said that the BJP was ready for its nal assault on the Constitution and the slogan of ‘Beyond 400’ seats is to get the required numbers to change it.
Releasing a charge-sheet against the BJP government at Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad on Thursday, he said that after the Lok Sabha elections, BJP’s plan is to abolish reservations in the country forever.
Furthering his attack on BJP, Mr. Reddy said the SC, ST and OBC communities must understand that Prime Minister Narendra Modi can go to any extent to implement the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak (RSS) ideology. “We have seen how forcefully this government implemented GST and tried to implement the three farm laws, Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) suppressing the Opposition,” he alleged.
Questioning the BJP on the ‘false promises’ he made, Mr. Reddy reminded how Mr. Modi promised two crore jobs every year but gave only 7 lakh jobs in 10 years. Similarly, Mr. Modi promised to bring back black money from Swiss banks in 100 days and distribute ₹15 lakh to each person but black money only increased with some corporate houses taking all the country’s money.
He said Mr. Modi hiked gas cylinder prices from ₹410 to ₹1,200, fuel prices from ₹70 to ₹110, edible oil from ₹100 to ₹180 and the GST burdened every sector and every individual. “Even incense sticks lighted to pray to God were not spared from GST showcasing their fake love for Hindu religion. Matchbox, pencils and rubbers too, were not spared,” he said.
The biggest achievement of Mr. Modi was to push the country’s debt to ₹168 lakh crore, he said reminding that till 2014, all the 14 Prime Ministers raised a debt of ₹55 lakh crore but Mr. Modi alone secured a debt of ₹113 lakh crore. Posters with the theme ‘Nayavanchana’ (deception) highlighting the poll promises made by Mr. Modi but not fullled were released. It also highlights the ‘injustice done to Telangana by the BJP government’.
