Is there no place for Telangana in Modi’s heart? They (BJP legislators) are not useful for Telangana.

The BRS leader slammed the Nirmal MLA. He said, “You ensured victory of BJP MLA here. He has not even done single paisa work in the constituency. He did not talk when the BRS MLAs were arrested near the Assembly. He only supports Revanth Reddy. They are selling CCI (Cement Corporation of India) for scrap. The BJP government has not given national project status to a single project in the state. No medical colleges, no Navodaya Schools to the state, whereas we made Nirmal as a district.”

Questioning the rally taken out by the BJP in support of the Election Commission of India, KTR said, “When the country is protesting against ECI, why should BJP have a problem? When BJP is protesting on this, this means ‘daal me kuch kala hai’ (something is fishy).”

KTR called on the people to defeat and ensure political burial of the Congress party in the next elections and to re-elect KCR as the next Chief Minister of the state. KTR lashed out at Chief Minister Revanth Reddy stating that instead of addressing the hardships faced by farmers, he was suggesting that villagers should ‘stage plays’. He questioned whether political gain was more important to Revanth Reddy than the lives of farmers.

KTR expressed his deep concern over the severe distress faced by agricultural laborers in villages due to a lack of work. He demanded that the government provide financial assistance of Rs. 1,000 per month totalling Rs. 36,000 --covering 36 months—to every agricultural labourer who has lost their livelihood due to the drought. He further demanded the immediate release of the four pending installments of the ‘Rythu Bandhu’, rescheduling of bank loans taken by farmers in light of the drought and immediate completion of the remaining farm loan waiver process. KTR alleged that under Revanth Reddy’s administration, the entire welfare system had been utterly destroyed.

Revanth Reddy has incurred a debt of 4.5 lakh crore rupees in just three years. “Where is all this money going, given that not a single promise has been fulfilled? We brought the Congress, a mere weed, upon ourselves, and now, misfortune has returned to our doorstep. The Congress party came to power by peddling lies and painting a rosy, illusory picture of a ‘paradise’ that never existed,” he said. When (AP Chief Minister) Chandrababu Naidu was lifting water at Pattiseema, why did Revanth Reddy not switch on the pumps at Kannepalli,” he questioned. Reacting to Revanth’s comment on his beard, KTR quipped: “Does anyone want to be like Revanth Reddy?”
