Cong. govt. in Telangana is Delhi’s ATM, says Shah
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has charged that within a short period of coming to power, the Congress Government in Telangana has become Delhi’s ATM.
“Congress and BRS are corrupt and together. Prime Minister Narendra Modi alone can deliver corruption-free governance to Telangana and also ensure it develops on all fronts,” he told a public meeting in Siddipet on Thursday.
Mr. Shah, who was three hours behind schedule, perhaps sensing the mood and the sweltering heat in which people were waiting to listen to him, made a short speech where he underscored the need for electing the party candidate and former MLA M. Raghunandan Rao from the Medak constituency to strengthen BJP for a third successive term.
“The Congress Government did not conduct a proper investigation into the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project and other scams of the BRS Government. Both the parties, Congress and BRS, had opposed the Ram Temple construction,” he charged.
He pointed out that the sa§ron party had decided to celebrate the Telangana Liberation Day on September
17 which was ignored by the Congress and BRS for several years since they were “frightened” of MIM.
He also said the BJP would remove the quota for Muslims and share it among the weaker sections of SC/ST/BC of the State. “In the last 10 years, the Modi Government had made a determined e§ort to solve the long-pending issues, whether it is the construction of Ram Temple or abrogation of Article 370,” he said.
“Do we need our Ram Mandir or not? Have we not made J&K part of our country? Don’t we need to strive to elect 12 MPs from Telangana to Parliament so that Mr. Modi gets a mandate of over 400 seats? By voting for Mr. Raghunandan Rao, you will be supporting Mr. Modi,” he said. Earlier, Mr. Raghunandan Rao alleged that BRS and Congress leaders have conspired to defeat him and demanded that they explain their respective contributions towards the development of Medak. “BRS candidate Venkatarami Reddy has done nothing despite being an MLC for the last three years, while leaders like Harish Rao have not stepped into the area,” he claimed.
Accusing Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy of deceiving people on farm loan waiver, enhanced pensions and other guarantees, he said a detailed booklet on contribution of the Modi Government in English and Telugu for the benet of the former has already been sent.
