BRS is a family of four crore people in Telangana: KTR responds to Modi

HYDERABAD: “BRS is a family of four crore people in Telangana and Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) is the head of the family,” Minister for IT and BRS Working President KT Ramarao (KTR) said in response to the comments of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Mahbubnagar on Sunday. The Prime Minister called the BRS a family-run political party.

KTR made these comments addressing a public meeting after participating in various development programs in Chennur, Ramagundem, and Peddapalli constituencies.

He added that KCR took the place of a son while providing pensions to the elderly, and stood as a brother to the farmers by giving ‘Rythu Bandhu’ and ‘Rythu Bheema’. “KCR is a member of every family in Telangana,” KTR said.

KTR stated that PM Modi cheated the people of Ramagundam by auctioning Singerani coal mines in an attempt to privatise Singareni. The BRS Party President stated that the strategy of the Prime Minister was to push state-run companies into losses and later privatise them for the benefit of his corporate friends like Adani.

Lashing out the statement of PM Modi on not waiving off farm loans in Telangana, KTR said that the CM had waived farm loans twice in the State and asked the Prime Minister to not make baseless allegations.

KTR stated that the people of the country knew that Pradhani was a synonym for Adani. He also added that the BJP party candidates would forfeit their deposits in the upcoming election in Telangana.

Turning his guns to Congress KTR said: “I don’t know about the six guarantees of Congress, but if they come to power, three things will happen for guarantees and that includes a three-hour power supply in a day, a change of CM every year, and a lot of scams in the state.”

KTR said that Congress which gave Rs 200 as a pension for six decades, had been promising a Rs 4,000 pension. “People are not ready to trust Congress leaders and their false promises,” he said.

Taking a dig at the Congress and BJP leaders visiting the State, the Minister said that leaders from different parties start coming to voters just before the elections like folk singers before the Sankranthi festival. “All they do is make false promises and I request you to be cautious and do not fall into their trap,” he added.

KTR highlighted the growth that took place in Telangana State in the last nine years under the leadership of KCR. He stated that Peddapalli became headquarters bringing much-needed relief to the people in availing government services.

KTR thanked the Singareni Collieries employees for their relentless efforts in achieving Telangana statehood along with other employees of the state government. He highlighted that the Telangana government provided increments and dependent job opportunities which benefited many.
