Hyderabad: With an eye on the Palair bypoll, the TRS has intensified its attack on the Congress and the Telugu Desam, accusing the two parties of working against Telangana interests.
While municipal administration minister K.T. Rama Rao, in an open letter, slammed the Congress and TD and asked people to reject them even as irrigation minister T. Harish Rao questioned the Opposition’s stand on irrigation projects and asked them why they were not backing the government while the Opposition and ruling party were united in AP against TS.
“It has become a habit for the Congress and TD to lose in every election. Congress is playing an emotional drama, but it was TRS government which provide medicare costing '1 crore to late Palair MLA Ramreddy Venkatreddy. Development is possible only if the Congress is buried,” Mr Rama Rao said in his open letter.
Calling TD a “tail of the Congress”, he said that TD leaders had backstabbed its founder NTR and were now shedding crocodile tears.
“TD’s opposition to TS irrigation project is like back-stabbing again. People will not forgive the Congress for seeking the support of TD which opposed Bhakta Ramadasu, Sita Rama projects. I am confident people will bury the Congress and TD in Palair and ensure a big win for TRS,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Mr Harish Rao alleged that the AP government was jealous of the Kaleshwaram project and hence was trying to create obstacles.
