Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Friday said a debt of over Rs 8.21 lakh crore was made during the previous BRS regime and slammed the party for downplaying it.
He also said the BRS is carrying out a Goebbels campaign against the Congress government over various issues. "You (BRS regime) took debts in different ways.
(They are) loans under FRBM (Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management) rules, in the name of corporations, pending dues to employees, dues to discoms (power distributions
companies). Altogether, Rs 8,21,651 crore loans, dues you made. Is this not true," he told reporters here.
Alleging that it was BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao who "destroyed" the state when he was the chief minister, he challenged KCR to state whether the debt burden was true or not.
KCR must answer the debt burden, he said. BRS working president K T Rama Rao and party MLA T Harish Rao, who are repeating the same lies every day, should answer whether the state government needs to repay the debts or not, he said.
