Hyderabad, February 23 – Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K. T. Rama Rao accused Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy of turning Telangana into an ATM for the AICC on Sunday.
In a statement, Rama Rao said that Revanth Reddy has now openly admitted what he has repeatedly said: that Telangana has become like an ATM for the Congress party in the last two years.
He was referring to Revanth Reddy's reported offer of ₹1,000 crore to the Gandhi family.
The Chief Minister reportedly said in a speech that if anyone from the Gandhi family is facing financial difficulties, the Telangana Congress workers are ready to provide them with ₹1,000 crore.
The former minister lamented that "the state's wealth is being transferred to the Congress leadership, and Telangana's self-respect is being mortgaged on the streets of Delhi."
KTR, as the BRS leader is popularly known, criticized the government for making excuses that it does not have a single rupee when it comes to implementing the 420 promises made to farmers, women, youth, employees, and retired employees.
He alleged that the government, which claims to have no funds for development, has incurred a huge debt of three lakh crore rupees in just two years, but there is no record of even a single brick being laid in the state. He also alleged that public money is being diverted from being used for public benefit.
Responding to the alleged land grabbing in the state, KTR said that in the name of beautifying the Musi river, the houses of the poor, the lands of the tribals in Lagacharla, and even the lands of the Hyderabad Central University are being targeted. He alleged that "the Anumula Brothers" are grabbing industrial lands in the name of the HILT policy and are systematically looting the state's resources.
KTR claimed that Revanth Reddy's only agenda is to "exploit" Telangana, keep it for himself, and carry bags to Delhi to protect his position. He called on the people to be vigilant against what he called the Congress government's behavior, which is diverting the people's hard-earned money and pushing the state's future into darkness.
