The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has planned 50 ‘Maha Padayatras’ to expose the failure of the BRS, the fraud of the Congress government and highlight the contribution of the Modi government to Telangana, Union Coal and Mines Minister G. Kishan Reddy said on Sunday.
In a press conference, he called on the Congress and the BRS to explain what they had done for Jubilee Hills. “Walk two kilometers on potholed roads and ask people for votes,” the BJP leader said. Former CM KCR, who once promised to turn Hyderabad into Istanbul or Singapore, is now imprisoned in his farmhouse. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s attempts to deflect blame are unacceptable, he claimed.
The BJP leader strongly condemned the conduct of the Congress party during the election campaign and accused it of crossing all limits and resorting to deceit and scare tactics. The chief minister, in particular, was accused of duping voters with “false promises and manipulative strategies”, he said.
“False promises have become the norm for both parties. Hyderabad is not just a Hi-Tec City – it includes many run-down slums. Street lights are not working, sewage is flowing on the roads and potholes are making it difficult to walk. Before asking for votes, resolve these issues,” Mr Reddy demanded.
Congress and BRS are two sides of the same coin. KCR and Harish Rao served as ministers under the Congress government. BJP has never aligned with any party and never will. Their political drama is nothing but a staged act, he said.
He also questioned “selective appeasement”, where land and ministerial posts are offered to one community while others are ignored. The state government is also spreading lies about metro project without takeover by L&T or completion of DPR.
The campaign is gaining momentum
Meanwhile, BJP State President N. Ramchander Rao said that while the previous BRS government was rejected by the people due to corruption, the current Congress government relied only on “contractors and kickbacks” and is following the path of corruption, intimidation and communal politics. People are expressing their anger for being lured for money in Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency, he claimed. Urging the people to give BJP a chance, Mr. Rao appealed to the youth, women and educated people to join the party and build a glorious future for Telangana with all cooperation. He later led an intensive padayatra in Jubilee Hills.
