The BJP will win in South India too in the next elections, Telangana BJP President G. Kishan Reddy said. There is no need for the BJP to use delimitation to remain in power, he added.
He made it clear that South Indian states would not suffer injustice due to delimitation. The BJP or Prime Minister Modi or Union Home Minister Amit Shah have not said that LS seats will decrease in South India if delimitation is done, Kishan added.
“Why is the CM speaking like that as the delimitation process has not started. First of all, the government has to conduct a census and only then delimitation will be done,” he said.
He also made it clear that the BJP will certainly abolish the four per cent reservations for Muslims in Andhra Pradesh if it comes to power on its own.
Addressing the media at the State BJP office on Saturday, Kishan said, “The Chief Minister is speaking as he liked. The internal squabbles of the Congress have been making the CM restless. I am condemning the CM’s false statements. I am threatening anyone in politics. However, the CM is stooping low and hurling false allegations against me,” he said.
He said that he has never blocked any development project in Telangana. Revealing the letters addressed by him to Union Ministers and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Kishan said that the Centre will not give huge funds to any state. It is also not possible to give sanctions within three months.
He said that the RRR is a Central project and that he wrote letters to the CM for acquiring land. The TG Government allotted a mere Rs 100 crore revolving fund for RRR, he added.
He said that KCR had sent the Metro Second Phase proposal. However, Revanth sent letters to the Centre asking it to stop and told them that they would make changes.
Kishan said the Centre will not delay in any way Hyderabad Metro Phase-2.
“I give priority to politics with moral values. It would be wrong to imagine things like blocking projects. I have been working based on principles since childhood. The Centre would adhere to the promises made to the people and implement them,” Kishan said.
