Ponnam Slams KTR over Remarks against Rahul Gandhi, Accuses BRS of Corruption
The Minister said KTR lacked the moral standing to speak about Rahul Gandhi, whose family, he said, had made significant sacrifices for the country
Hyderabad: BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar has launched a sharp attack on BRS working president K T Rama Rao (KTR), for criticizing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He accused the previous BRS government of corruption, misrule and failure to fulfill its promises.
The Minister said KTR lacked the moral standing to speak about Rahul Gandhi, whose family, he said, had made significant sacrifices for the country.
Questioning the BRS government's track record, he asked whether Dalits were not attacked in Neredcherla, farmers were beaten up in Khammam and Mallanna Sagar oustees were subjected to lathi-charge during the previous regime.
He also questioned why the BRS government had failed to issue even a single Group-I notification during its 10-year rule. In contrast, he said, the Congress government had issued the notification and successfully conducted the recruitment process.
The Minister said the Congress government was committed not just to making promises but also to delivering on them. Unlike the previous regime, which he accused of accumulating assets worth thousands of crores of rupees, the present government was focused on public welfare.
He further questioned KTR's remarks on corruption, referring to allegations in the Formula E race case, Kaleshwaram project, power purchases and assigned lands. He alleged that listing the corruption charges against the previous government would take an entire year.
