Bandi questions govt on poll promises

PNS|Rajanna Sircilla

BJP State unit president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Thursday said that he was prepared to get his head chopped or beaten with chappals, if the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government implements the promises made to the people.

Addressing the BJP workers at Sircilla as part of campaigning in the Cooperative Electric Supply Society (CESS) elections, Sanjay Kumar ridiculed BRS president and Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for saying that Telangana model of development would be replicated all over the country.

“Where is the development in Telangana? KCR has not implemented any of his promises, including crop loan waiver, filling of job vacancies, payment of unemployment allowance, completion of doubl-bedroom houses, three acres of land for Dalits and financial support to gram panchayats,” he said.

On the BRS chief’s call for empowering farmers, the BJP leader said that the farmers were continuing to commit suicides with the KCR government not taking up timely procurement of paddy and not supplying urea free of cost. Even the round-the-clock power supply to agriculture sector has become a failure, he said.

He claimed that it was Narendra Modi government at the Centre which had extended assistance to farmers. “The Centre is ready to provide all possible assistance to Telangana, but the state government is not cooperating with it,” he alleged.

The BJP president said while Telangana Rashtra Samithi has become bankrupt, KCR converted it into BRS, which is nothing but Bandipotla Rashtra Samithi or Bar and Restaurant Samithi. “He is making tall claims about the BRS by encouraging pre-paid and post-paid defectors,” he said.

The BJP president accused the BRS government of pushing Rajanna-Siricilla Cooperative Electric Supply Society (CESS) into deep debt-trap. “Who is responsible for the CESS plunging into a debt of Rs 450 crore,” he asked.

He alleged that KCR was conspiring to merge Sircilla CESS into the Telangana Transco by projecting it as a loss-making company. “It is like branding a dog mad in order to kill it,” he alleged.

Sanjay also lashed out at Director of Health G Srinivasa Rao for his comment that the Covid-19 pandemic had eased in India due to the blessings of Jesus Christ. “How dare you preach Christianity despite being a government official? He should leave the country immediately,” he said and called upon the people to drive such officials away.
