Hyderabad: BRS working president K.T Rama Rao said that Telangana does not require a ‘sealed cover CM’ and said that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao fights alone line a lion.
He stated that senior leaders from the BJP and the Congress were campaigning in Telangana but the BRS was not afraid as it had the people's blessings.
Rama Rao was speaking at road shows in Goshamahal — which he promised to adopt of the BRS won — Malakpet, which he said used to go under curfew during Congress rule, Biknoor, Kamareddy and Nizamabad.
He said that actors like Rajnikanth and Sunny Deol had appreciated the development of Hyderabad but the Opposition parties including Goshamahal MLA T. Raja Singh was unable to understand it. Referring to the cases being booked against Singh, he said that the police did so when the BJP MLA tried to disturb communal harmony.
He said that Malakpet was known for its TV Tower previously but the IT Tower that will come up there will be the new landmark. He said that even in Old City, the BRS was fighting the elections in a tough manner and the Malakpet road show was an example.
At Kamareddy — where Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao faces TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy — Rama Rao said the constituency would stand at the first position in the state, and rubbished the charges of the Congress on the farmers land issue.
“At 70 years of age, why would KCR want land from you,” he asked the audience. “After he is elected from Kamareddy, it will become the number one constituency in the state," he said. He said Revanth Reddy would end up in third place.
Dismissing the Opposition charge that Chandrashekhar Rao was a non-local in Kamareddy, Rama Rao said he had achieved Telangana statehood and was a local candidate across the state.
“It may be Siddipet or Kamareddy, it makes no difference to KCR. He is a local candidate and his mother hails from Konapur in Kamareddy constituency,” Rama Rao said in Biknoor.
Rama Rao assured that River Godavari waters would be supplied to farmers in Biknoor within one year. On the Congress’s ‘job calendar,’ Rama Rao said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was provoking the youths.
"What happened to the promise of filling 2.5 lakh government jobs in Karnataka within 100 days,” he asked. “Your job calendar is a big bogus. How can you release notification in March, April, and May of 2024 when there will be election code in the country? Is this not your cheap attempt to cheat the youths for votes?”
