Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has ruled out early elections to Telangana Assembly, stating that they would take place “on time”.
“I am not playing any “tricks” with a view to advancing polls,” the Chief Minister said in the Legislative Council on Wednesday while reacting to a charge of Congress State president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government appeared to go for mid-term polls going by the concessions offered to various sections of people in the budget. Mr. Rao was replying to the debate on motion of thanks to the Governor’s address to both Houses of Legislature.
‘Hollow criticism’
Terming the Opposition’s criticism of the State government as hollow as it did not have issues to highlight, the Chief Minister said the parties will not have any window to target the government once the Mission Bhagiratha programme to provide drinking water was completed.
