Congress leaders lashed out at the ruling TRS and BJP, accusing them of hoodwinking people and going back on promises made during elections.
Senior Congress leaders who came here on Thursday, held a meeting with party workers as part of their campaign for the Lok Sabha by-election and municipal elections. Party Telangana in-charge R.C. Kuntia alleged that members of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Cabinet were vying with each other to support Lalit Modi who was wanted by law enforcement agencies.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, Union Ministers Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley were extending their help to Lalit Modi while the Prime Minister was supporting their actions.
In Telangana, the ruling TRS government failed to offer a relief package even as 900 farmers committed suicide.
“The Chief Minister here is more interested in Vaastu than in delivering promises,” he said.
TPCC president Uttam Kumar Reddy said the TRS government, which had promised a lot to Muslim minorities had failed to order a probe by a neutral agency into the encounter of under-trial prisoner Vikaruddin.
“Both Modi and KCR failed to rescue the farming community. The students of different universities in Telangana were lathi-charged when they asked for jobs. Women, who represent 50 per cent of the society, do not have representation in the TRS Cabinet,” Mr. Uttam Kumar Reddy added.
Former Minister B. Saraiah accused Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao of continuing feudal rule and suppressing the media. The TRS leaders who were making noise over notices to T-News by the A.P. police were silent on the unofficial ban imposed on ABN Andhra Jyothi news channel.
Meanwhile, Mr. Bhatti Vikramarka, addressing Congress workers at Wardhannapet, stated that Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao was facing threat from his nephew T. Harish Rao and hence he was ‘buying’ MLAs of the opposition parties.
Former Union Minister Sarve Satyanarayana said Mr Kadiam Srihari was enjoying power by claiming to be SC which was not true. He demanded a CBI inquiry into his claims of community.
