WARANGAL: All major political parties are taking the Warangal Lok Sabha bypoll as a matter of prestige. This is quite evident by the way the three main parties in the fray, the TRS, BJP and the Congress, are going about their campaign.
While the Opposition parties have stepped up their attacks on the ruling TRS pointing fingers at its “failures and shortcomings”, the TRS is reminding the voters the various welfare schemes it introduced. The TRS campaigners are also asking the Opposition parties to stop personal attacks on their leaders.
BJP state president G. Kishan Reddy, who campaigned in Warangal on Tuesday, challenged Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s claim that 99 per cent of the promises made by the party prior to the 2014 general election have been fulfilled. Mr Reddy challenged Mr Rao to an open debate on the achievements of the state government in these 18 months.
He said Mr Rao had only made promises but failed to keep any of them. “The Chief Minister is not even available for the people or the officials. He spends more time in his farmhouse than at the Secretariat. TS is registering more farmer suicides than Mahara-shtra, which is four times bigger than our state. Why does the government not purchase cotton along with the CCI and help the farmers?” he questioned.
MP B. Vinod Kumar said that it was the Central government which is not increasing the MSP for cotton. He said the state government was giving subsidies to the tune of Rs 40,000 to each farmer in the state.
