BJP depriving poor of their rights: MLC Kavitha

NIZAMABAD: MLC Kavitha launched a fresh attack on the Narendra Modi government and said that they were suppressing the poor with their anti-people policies, at the Aasara Pension Scheme Pension ceremony on Wednesday.

"Sitharaman ji, if you want the Prime Minister's pictures to be put up, we will surely do so. We will put them up on gas cylinders, packets of urea, petrol and diesel stations, oil and dal packets. Wherever the costs are rising, we will put up pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi" said K Kavitha

Kavitha reacted to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's comments. The Finance Minister had questioned the local administration on the missing picture of Prime Minister Modi from ration shops. She said "The Union Finance Minister went to a ration shop and picked a fight with the Collector about the Prime Minister's pictures not being put up.Not in Nehru's time, Manmohan Singh or even Vajpayee, no one has had their pictures put up."

Further, MLC Kavitha accused the BJP Government of depriving the poor of their fundamental rights and said that if the Government at the Centre could not provide for peoples' needs and support State Governments to be able to support their people, the BJP had no right to ridicule leaders. She said that the BJP Government showed no support for KCR Government's schemes.
