Hyderabad: The word fight between Telangana’s prime minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) and BJP state president Bandi Sanjay continued on Monday, with the former saying he was not afraid of anyone. KCR attacked the center under the leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and declared that the raids of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and IT (income tax) are his “weapons” these days.
KCR addressed a press conference for a second consecutive day, saying its government was composed with the public’s mandate, unlike in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. “We are not thieves like you. In Karnataka you did not win, but you did hara kiri and came to power. In MP you did not win, but still there is a BJP government. The BJP runs a government without a mandate. We won with a big win. Your party lost in 118 seats (in 2018 state elections), ”he added.
The Prime Minister of Telangana reiterates that the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India has named Telangana the state that makes the best contribution in India. “When TRS was various schemes and policies of the BJP government, KCR was not a ‘Desh Drohi’. But, now that we (the Center) are questioning, KCR is anti-national, anti-defense. These are labels that the BJP uses. Are (BJP MP) Varun Gandhi and Meghalaya Governor also Desh Drohis? asked KCR.
He was responding to Bandi Sanjay’s statements made earlier Monday, in which the latter called the KCR a “traitor” because he had questioned the central government about alleged Chinese invasions of India. “Mr Bandi Sanjay, pay attention to your words. I know my rights very well. You are on petrol. In the international market prices are lower than in 2010. Then it was 105 dollars per barrel, now it is 83 dollars. So deceived you not the public? ” questioned the KCR.
KCR calls the state BJP’s criticism of the TRS government “joke of the millennium”, pointing out that BJP MPs in parliament themselves praised Telangana. “Whether it is law and order, economy, schemes or employment – Telangana stands apart. Do not place a burden on people, withdraw the cess on fuel. Will you do it or not? Petrol will be Rs 70-80. They increased the price 16 times. We have not, ”said KCR.
Bandi Sanjay takes on farmers’ issues, KCR said he would fight for farmers until he “lives”. He criticized the BJP for constantly picking up the issue of his farmhouse, which according to the prime minister was built with the payment of taxes. “You can do nothing. We are not afraid of anyone. If we talk, he will say ‘desh drohi’. I will not be scared, “the prime minister added.
KCR also attacked the state’s BJP unit for not also helping the Telangana case. “BJP leaders have no shame. Corruption / bribery is almost zero in Telangana. We have the Dharani portal, TS I-Pass, online permissions for various connections, etc. We are ready to face any queries if necessary, ”he added. He also rejected Sanjay’s statements, in which the BJP president said the center had built highways and railways in Telangana.
“What do you mean you gave national highways? It must be given. Otherwise we give our income tax. Then why should we give it to you? Those things have to be done automatically, ”KCR pointed out.
‘20000 crore for Dalit Bandhu by next financial year’
On increasing criticism that the Dalit Bandhu scheme (according to which SC beneficiaries will receive financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh), KCR said that more funds for the scheme will be added in next year’s budget. “As CM, I declare that by next financial year Rs 20 000 crore will be given. Each year a few lakhs of Dalits (funds) will be given. We will do it concretely. “Telangana’s Dalit community will get it, you will see,” he assured.
We will not lie. We will do it and show you. Government work notices will also be issued and employee calendar will be released every year.
What is this tamasha? IS this your father’s farmhouse? It was bought and there are IT records. What you’re talking about is with KCR, be careful. We are warriors, and do not be afraid. We got a new state and work for the people.
