K T Rama Rao, working president of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), came down heavily on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, criticising him for turning Telangana into an ATM for the All India Congress Committee (AICC). He said the State’s resources were being diverted to meet the expenses of the Congress leadership in Delhi, which was acknowledged by the Chief Minister himself by stating that Telangana Congress was capable of sending Rs 1,000 crore to the Gandhi family during a recent party leaders’ meeting.
In a sharp
retort, Rama Rao said the Congress government had failed to implement 420 promises made to farmers, women, youth, employees and pensioners, citing a lack of funds. He pointed out that while welfare schemes were stalled, the government had raised nearly Rs 3 lakh crore in debt over two years without visible development.
“Not a single project has been initiated in the last two years despite huge loans. Instead, Telangana people’s money is being diverted to fund Congress activities across the country,” he added.
