Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president (TPCC) and MP, A. Revanth Reddy said that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has realised that he would be ousted from power soon. It is this fear that has forced him to declare that TRS will be in power for the next 20 years, he said.
Reddy alleged that the wealth Rao looted in the last seven years would be recovered by the Congress government after it comes to power.
Reddy completed his 48-hour deeksha, as part of Dalit, Girijan Dandora programme, at Muduchinthalapally village in Medchal Malkajgiri district on Wednesday evening with the PCC election management committee chairman Damodar C. Rajanarsimha offering him a glass of lemon juice.
Addressing the meeting, Reddy said that Rao was making all sorts of false promises, which people have now seen through. Rao is worried that in the next 20 months his political career could end as his government was bound to be unseated. He said that the Chief Minister has not fulfilled his developmental assurances to the people of Muduchinthalapally, the village he has adopted. In order to lay a road to his farm house, Rao increased the height of the road in Muduchinthalapally, which is causing inundation during rains, he said.
Urging that the Dalit Bandhu scheme be implemented across the state, he said that if there are problems of funds then the Congress would help the government in selling Secretariat and Assembly buildings and raise finances. He wondered how a man who did not extend even Rs10,000 financial aid to flood-victims in GHMC limits, would give Rs10 lakh to dalits?
Rao had assured 2BHK houses, community halls, veterinary hospital and roads in all adopted villages, but had failed to honour them.
“I am ready to resign my Lok Sabha post, if Rao proves that he has fulfilled promises made for developing the adopted villages' ', Reddy said.
The APCC president came down heavily against minister CH Mallareddy and alleged that the minister had encroached government lands for constructing a hospital. He demanded a full-fledged probe into how the minister managed to get land and raise funds for setting up medical and engineering colleges and a hospital.
Stating that Telangana was not achieved to benefit contractors like Mega Krishna Reddy and Jupally Rameshwar Rao, the Congress leader said that they would convert Pragathi Bhavan into Babasaheb Bahujan Bhavan especially for SC/ST students.
Revanth Reddy said that he was not aspiring to become a chief minister as “I am happy with the TPCC president post”.
