HYDERABAD: Stating that BJP was the future of Telangana, BJP national president JP Nadda on Saturday alleged that the Congress government in the state has failed to do justice to any section of the society.
“BJP is the voice of Telangana. It is the future of Telangana and the country. The people should have faith in only the BJP,” he stated, adding that the saffron party has decided to expose the failures, lies and betrayal of the Congress government and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.
Nadda was addressing a public meeting organised by the BJP at the Saroornagar Stadium to “expose the failures” of the government in its one year rule. “The Congress came to power in Telangana with false promises. None of the promises made by the Congress during the Assembly elections have been implemented,” Nadda alleged.
Claiming that the Union government was giving priority to Telangana, he said: “The Centre gave Rs 1.6 lakh crore as tax devolution and Rs 1.1 lakh crore as grant-in-aid to Telangana. Rs 27,000 crore was given to Warangal and Karimnagar under Smart City scheme. AIIMS at Bibinagar is being established. We sanctioned five economic corridor projects to Telangana under the Bharatmala scheme.”
Modi won a 3rd term on merit: Nadda
The saffron party leader alleged that the difference between the Congress and the BJP was that the former works for the sake of power and misleads the people while the latter stands for development. “The people gave the mandate to the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to rule the country for the third consecutive time. You have to understand the difference in the work culture between the Congress and BJP,” he said.
Nadda continued: “It is only Modi who became the PM for the third time in a row on merit. When Jawaharlal Nehru became the PM for the third time, the Opposition was weak and there was euphoria for the Congress all over the world.”
He said that Modi disproved anti-incumbency theories prevalent for seven decades. “Governments came and went but after Modi came, India saw a pro-incumbency government,” Nadda claimed.
Pointing out that BJP was in power in 13 states with absolute majority, Nadda said that the people of Telangana too were waiting for the saffron party to come to power. “Once BJP comes to power in Telangana, it will not be dislodged,” he added.
“Congress cannot win elections on its own. It is a “Parjeevi Party” that relies on regional parties to win elections. Congress has been out of power for 60 years in Tamil Nadu, 30 years in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh. Soon it will face the same situation in Telangana, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh. It is standing on crutches,” Nadda predicted.
KCR and Revanth are twins: Kishan
Addressing the gathering, BJP state president G Kishan Reddy described former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy as “twins”, saying that both displayed the same behaviour and attitude.
“The government failed to implement the promises made by the Congress during the Assembly elections. The Congress and BRS failed to turn people’s aspirations into reality. A real people’s government is possible only with the BJP. Change is possible only with the BJP. I am appealing to the people to bless the BJP,” Kishan said.
The Union minister predicted that the BJP will come to power in the state in the next Assembly elections.
Congress trying to turn ‘Bhagyanagar’ into Bangladesh: Bandi
Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay accused the Congress of trying to turn Bhagyanagar (Hyderabad) into Bangladesh. He appealed to the BJP cadre to work hard to secure Hyderabad mayor post for a BJP leader. “Saffron flag should be hoisted on Hyderabad,” he added.
Sanjay alleged that the chief minister was acting as a puppet in the hands of “Urban Naxals”. “Revanth is encouraging the youth to become Naxals,” he alleged.
Sanjay stated that he was ready to prove that there were business relations between the families of KCR and Revanth. “Whenever talk of KTR being arrested surfaces, he goes to Delhi to give money to the Congress high command,” Sanjay alleged.
