Cong, BJP Believe in Slogans, BRS Govt Believes in Solutions: Harish Rao

HYDERABAD: “Ours is not a government of slogans but one of providing solutions,” health and finance minister T. Harish Rao declared on Thursday, even as he took aim at the Congress and the BJP, describing them as parties trying to mislead people with bogus assurances and claims.

Harish Rao said that Union minister Amit Shah and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge came to the state just as visitors. “They have no understanding of Telangana and what has been done here by the BRS government. They came, they read out scripts given by their local party leaders, and they left. Before criticising KCR, they should first demonstrate they have done some work in the states where their parties are in power,” he said.

“Before speaking about Telangana, Shah should improve power supply in his home state of Gujarat, and Kharge will do well to ensure that poll promises made by the Congress in Karnataka are implemented. The people of Telangana will not fall for their cheap publicity seeking stunts and tricks and have already decided to return the BRS to power for the third time in the state, he said.

The minister was speaking after inaugurating an Ayush integrated wellness centre at NIMS Hospital in the city, which he said was the first such facility in the state, It would provide services to people based on ayurveda, unani, homoeopathy, siddha, and nature cure principles. Modern facilities have been created at the centre to provide the best possible services, he said.

Harish Rao said that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao would soon inaugurate nine new state-run medical colleges which will add 900 more MBBS seats, and added that healthcare systems and services were improving rapidly under the Chief Minister’s guidance.
