Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao asked the voters to use vote as a weapon to show the opposition parties their place. While speaking at a campaigning event in Daulatabad in Dubbaka assembly constituency, he claimed that Raghunandan Rao, BJP candidate for the constituency, had failed to deliver what he promised during the by-election.
KTR reminded the promises made by Raghunandan Rao which includes assistance to unemployed youth, pensions to handloom and beedi workers in his personal capacity, free fertilizers to the farmers, free corporate school and hospital, outer ring road for Dubbaka town, and more.
He stated that Raghunandan only knows to shout in TV debates, and did not do anything for the people of Dubbaka. He also spoke about how a Congress activist stabbed BRS candidate Kotha Prabakar Reddy during his election campaigning.
Dismissing the comments of BRS grabbing lands of people in Dubbaka, KTR reminded people that the BRS in its manifesto promises to give complete ownership of assigned lands as well.
Attacking Congress party for its anti-farmer policies, KTR said that Revanth Reddy talks of providing three hour power supply to the farmers, Uttam Kumar Reddy calls rtythu bandhu, a programme which is a waste of money and Bhatti Vikramarka says Dharani would be replaced with the patwari system. He ridiculed the Congress party leaders for their stand towards farmers.
KTR highlighted the BRS party’s manifesto which includes life insurance cover of Rs 5 lakh to over 93 lakh below poverty line (BPL) families on the lines of rythu bhima being implemented to farmers, superfine rice supply to all ration card holders under Telangana annapurna scheme, a monthly honorarium of Rs 3,000 per eligible woman under saubhagya laxmi scheme, increase in asara pension money to Rs 5,000, gas cylinder for Rs400 and aarogyasri coverage to be increased to Rs15 lakh.
KTR said: “BJP national leaders like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and Union Ministers and CMs of different States and Congress leaders like Rahul Gandhi from Delhi and DK Shivkumar from Karnataka are coming here just to suppress the voice of K Chandrashekar Rao. But a lion-like KCR will fight it alone.” The BRS Working President stated that this election will decide the fate of Dubbaka and Telangana. He asked the people to think wisely and decide on whom to vote for.
