Congress assurances only to grab votes, says Laxman


Hyderabad: Accusing Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of deceiving people of Telangana by making false promises, BJP Rajya Sabha member K Laxman alleged that the Chief Minister’s assurance to fulfil poll promises by August 15 was a stunt to garner votes of the people in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls.

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Laxman said the Congress had made false promises during the assembly polls to come to power and now was again making false promises to get votes for the Lok Sabha polls.

Stating that the Congress was postponing the implementation of six guarantees in the name of Model Code of Conduct, he said if the party was sincere about fulfilling the promises it would have done it before the MCC came into force. “There was enough time for the government to implement all the promises, but it wantedly delayed it so that MCC could come into force. There is no guarantee that the promises will be implemented by August,”he alleged.

Accusing Congress of cheating farmers, Laxman said the State government had not fulfilled a single promise made to farmers. “Congress promised to waive farm loans up to Rs.2 lakh, provide Rs.15,000 per acre under Rythu Bandhu scheme, Rs.500 bonus per quintal of paddy and Rs.12,000 per month to farm labourers. None of the promises have been fulfilled so far,”he said.

KTR asks Congress leaders to identify Revanth Reddy’s political leanings


Adilabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Tuesday dared Congress leaders to say which party Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy belonged to. Reiterating that Revanth Reddy would be the first to join the BJP after the Parliament elections, he asked the people to think whether the Chief Minister was a confidante of Rahul Gandhi or Narendra Modi.

Addressing a party meeting in Adilabad Parliament segment here, Rama Rao said every vote to the Congress would ultimately benefit the BJP. He regretted that reservations given to SCs and STs would be abrogated if the BJP came to power again.

“Is Modi a God for privatising public sector undertakings? Where has the proposed Bayyaram steel plant gone? Why is Cement Corporation of India’s sick unit in Adilabad not revived so far?” he asked.

Reiterating that the BRS would never topple the Congress-led State government, he asked Revanth Reddy to continue in the post for five years and to keep his poll promises. Ridiculing Revanth Reddy for calling Modi ‘Bade Bhai’, even while Rahul Gandhi was calling Modi ‘chor’, exposing the dual standards of the Congress, Rama Rao found fault with the government for claiming to have fulfilled jobs even without giving notifications.

The 32,000 jobs for which appointment letters were handed over by Revanth Reddy to candidates were originally recruited by the BRS government, he said, also rebuking the Congress for collecting a fee of Rs.200 from aspirants of TET.

Stating that the BRS had realised ideals of tribal legend Kumram Bheem by introducing various developmental programmes and welfare schemes covering tribals, Rama Rao said the Congress, which was responsible for the infamous Indervelli firing incident, did not even tender an apology to the tribals.
