Minister for Energy G Jagadish Reddy is confident of BRS winning all 12 Assembly constituencies in Nalgonda district
“Frustrated opposition is spreading lies against the government,” said Minister for Finance T Harish Rao on Friday and vowed to give a “befitting response to the vicious campaign.”
Speaking at Atmeeya Sammelan at Miryalaguda in Nalgonda district, the Minister asked the party cadre to reach out to people and apprise them of the unprecedented development during the last nine years. “We have a weapon to nail the lies. That is development. By creating awareness among people about the government’s welfare schemes and development activities,” he observed.
Harish Rao pointed out that Telangana secured awards at the national level because of its remarkable performance. The nation was proud of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao. Under the Congress regimes, all the nine undivided districts in Telangana regions, except Hyderabad, remained backward in the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. “If the BJP unleashes vicious campaign, the BRS activists must teach a lesson to the leaders of the saffron party by educating the people,” Harish Rao pointed out.
The Congress government during its 10 rule had created just 6,000 jobs. The BRS government, however, filled 1.35 lakh vacancies in the State. “There is no unemployment in Telangana. But, there is unemployment in the Congress party,” he said and asserted the people voted for KCR for two consecutive terms and the ruling party would emerge victorious for the third consecutive term, he asserted. The Congress would find it difficult to get candidates in 40 to 50 constituencies, he said.
Minister for Energy G Jagadish Reddy, who participated in the meeting as chief guest, recalled that the farmlands in the Telangana region were left parched for 16 years in the combined Andhra Pradesh. The Ministers from the Telangana region remained mute spectators for the sake of power, he said. “In double engine government, 35 to 40 per cent of people are suffering from starvation. Telangana made rapid strides to development on all fronts,” he said.
Under the KCR’s rule only, Krishna water was released 16 times for irrigation to help farmers in the Nalgonda district, he reminded the people. The paddy yield touched 40 lakh tonnes in Nalgonda district from mere 3.5 lakh tonnes in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. He exuded confidence that the BRS would win all 12 Assembly constituencies in the district.
Local MLA N Bhaskar Rao presided over the meeting.
