Assembly polls will completely change TS landscape: Uttam

Congress MP and Huzurnagar candidate Capt. N Uttam Kumar Reddy om Monday predicted that the coming Assembly elections will completely change the political landscape of Telangana.
Speaking to mediapersons during a campaign rally in Huzurnagar on Monday, Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the Congress party would register a clear victory by winning over 80 seats in the coming Assembly elections. This would lead to the retirement of dozens of BRS legislators who failed to perform in the last decade. They would be replaced with Congress leaders who have a strong desire to develop Telangana.
He said Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao himself has given several indications of BRS defeat and the Congress victory.
Uttam Kumar Reddy also took aim at KCR’s claims about his role in the formation of Telangana, stating that it was the Congress party and its leader Sonia Gandhi who granted statehood to Telangana. He further asserted that Telangana became a reality due to a long and sustained movement launched by students, youth, employees, lawyers, journalists and other sections of society.
“KCR is wrongly trying to take sole credit for Telangana formation,” Uttam Kumar Reddy said. “Sonia Gandhi granted statehood to the region as she wanted to stop youth from committing suicides. The Congress party sacrificed its existence in Andhra Pradesh to grant statehood for Telangana. No other political party could imagine giving such a big sacrifice only to honour its words.”
Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the BRS regime would be remembered for corruption, nepotism, arrogance and dictatorial attitude. He also said that the BRS govt had failed to deliver on the promises it made to the people to develop Telangana and improve the lives of its people.
“People gave TRS (now BRS) and KCR an opportunity to develop Telangana using its abundant resources. However, BRS leaders misused their position to indulge in corruption while pushing the State into a huge debt crisis. All sections of society, including women, youth, students, farmers, SC, ST, BC, minority communities and others, remained neglected in the last nine-and-a-half years,” Uttam Kumar Reddy said.
