BJP discriminating against State from Day 1: KCR
BJP has been acting against TS people right from Day One of State formation, as the Central government has been heaping injustice and discrimination in every aspect, starting with the unilateral transfer of seven mandals and 460 MW Lower Sileru hydel project, BRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao said.
Participating in a roadshow in support of party candidate for Bhongir constituency Kyama Mallesh in the district on Thursday night, he said that while the Congress had been the enemy of Telangana people from 1956, BJP had joined it in 2014 and started discriminating against the State in every step.
Party leaders G. Jagadhis ish Reddy, Ponnala Lashmaiah, Palla Rajeshwar Reddy, A. Uma Madhava Reddy, P. Shekar Reddy, G. Sunitha Reddy and others were with Mr. Rao.
Mr. Rao pointed out that the BJP Government at the Centre had denied medical colleges, Navodaya schools and several other nationallevel institutions to Telangana during the last 10 years, though it had sanctioned a large number of them to other States, particularly the ones ruled by BJP and its friendly parties.
While the BJP was seeking votes in the name of gods, the Congress was asking for electoral support by taking vows in the name of gods. He cited how Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had taken a vow in the name of god in Bhongir the other day that
government would give bonus of ₹500 per quintal to paddy from next crop season, though it was to be implemented from the last Kharif crop itself.
The former Chief Minister requested the electorate, particularly the youth, not to be in a hurry and make a conscious decision by considering which party would protect the interests of Telangana better.
Enroute to Bhongir from Surypet, KCR’s campaign bus was stopped by farmers at several places, including Thimmapur and Dubba Thanda, and they poured out their woes.
