The BRS regime borrowed Rs 7 lakh crore during 10 years as against the total borrowing of over Rs 60,000 crore in 60 years. He assured the JAC that the government would provide more work. In fact, KTR as Textiles Minister should have resolved the problem, but he was throwing the blame on the new Congress regime. Turning his attention to Bandi Sanjay who was MP of Karimnagar for over 5 years, the Minister demanded that the Lok Sabha member spell out what he did for the welfare of the weavers. What did the BJP government do to improve their conditions in the last 10 years? The Congress government so far gave orders for textiles worth Rs 120 crore. The Tamil Nadu government received thousands of crores from integrated special package, but the MP failed to bring funds to the State. The MP could not even bring Rs 350 crore to the state, he said assuring the JAC to resolve their problems. He assured the weaver that he would bring Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy after the Lok Sabha elections. He blamed the former MP Vinod Kumar for relocating the textile park sanctioned to Sircilla to Warangal.
