All India Congress Committee (AICC) vice-president Rahul Gandhi will release a ‘charge-sheet’ against the failures of the Telangana government at the ‘Praja Garjana’ to be held in Sangareddy on June 1, said Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy at a press conference on Thursday.
Mr. Gandhi will also expose the government that has become “corrupt, dictatorial, and arrogant” and which has also acquired the dubious distinction of being second in the list of States with the highest number of farmers suicides, Mr. Reddy said.
The TPCC chief alleged that the TRS was a secret ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and yet Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao failed to get any assistance from the Centre for Telangana. Mr. Rao has failed to resolve the problems faced by the people.
All that he has done in the last three years was spread false propaganda against the Opposition.
Mr. Reddy said Telangana now occupies a shameful second place in farmers suicides in the country, as the government failed to waive their loans at one go, deny input subsidy, and decline financial help when farmers lost their crops due to natural calamities.
Farmers now face the ignominy of getting handcuffed by the police for seeking remunerative prices and are humiliated and harassed by the government instead of getting help, he said.
Assuring help to farmers who are losing lands to various projects, Mr. Reddy said the Congress would approach the Supreme Court against the new land acquisition Act and insist only on implementation of the Land Acquisition Act of 2013.
‘Freedom suppressed’
Students and unemployed youth, who participated in the Telangana movement, did not get any jobs and they are not even allowed to hold protests. Freedom of media is also suppressed.
Muslims are also being misled by the government on the 12% reservation that would never be accepted by the BJP government at the Centre.
The TPCC chief criticised the Chief Minister for openly violating the anti-defection law and also the Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan and Speaker S. Madhusudan Chary who remained mute spectators to the violation of the Constitution.
