The parties that ruled for decades were in a hurry to assess the performance of the 15-month-old State Government which was unreasonable, said Deputy Chief Minister Kadiam Srihari. The Congress and TDP leaders seem to be deep in frustration and unable to stomach the defeat in last general elections.
‘Stooping low’
“People gave us mandate for five-year term and we completed just 15 months. The Opposition parties are stooping too low in criticising this TRS government,” he pointed out.
Addressing newsmen here on Tuesday, Kadiam Srihari listed out the initiatives taken by his government such as loan waiver, housing scheme, pensions among others. In Congress and TDP regime, farmers would stand in queue and endure lathicharge to buy seeds, fertilizers and pesticides.
The situation was different now. The power crisis was handled successfully.
“There are forces that are still working together to prove that separate Telangana experiment was a failure. However, people of Telangana are with ruling TRS party and are not ready to believe in the propaganda by a section of political leaders.
They are talking about encounter in the State. How many hundreds of revolutionaries were killed in the Congress regime? The then Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy called the naxals for talks, spied on their hideouts and killed them.
For that, he got appreciation from Central government. Are people not aware of it?, Kadiam Srihari asked stating that their government does not support encounters but only focused on development. The ASHA workers led by CITU do not agitate in Andhra Pradesh but in Telangana.
Bad propaganda
What was the logic? The BJP government at Centre doles out funds to Andhra Pradesh but does not reply to Telangana government’s request to revise MSP for cotton from Rs. 4,100 to Rs. 7,761 per quintal and not even Rs 5,000 per quintal. The Deputy Chief Minister said notwithstanding the bad propaganda against the ruling TRS party, it would win the ensuing Warangal Parliament by-election.
“The performance of my government will be decided by people and not by Congress, TDP or BJP,” he added.
