Hyderabad: AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh on Monday asked the Telangana state government to explain what it had done with the Rs 90,000 crore that BJP chief Amit Shah had claimed to have sanctioned to the state. He asked whether Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao used the funds to buy legislators of Opposition parties. He accused the TRS government of resorting to forcible acquisition of land for various projects like Mallannasagar.
Mr Singh alleged that the state government was suppressing farmers' rights by denying them the deserved compensation as per the Land Acquisition Act, 2013, and condemned imposition of Section 144 and other restrictions in the project-affected villages. The Congress leader made these remarks while addressing a two-day training session for Congress’ local body people’s representatives here.
TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy expressed confidence that the Congress would come back to power in Telangana in the 2019 elections. “Except for the KCR family, nobody is happy in the state. The people will teach the TRS a befitting lesson for their mis-governance. The countdown for the fall of the TRS government has begun,” Mr Reddy said while inaugurating the two-day training camp on Monday morning.
The Telangana Congress chief said no section of the society was happy with the government’s functioning and accused it of indulging in large scale corruption in the name of redesigning irrigation projects.
