CM betraying people with honesty as he’s not spared any section: KTR

HYDERABAD

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is a betrayer with honesty as he has been deceiving every section to whom he had made pre-poll promises, working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) K.T. Rama Rao has alleged.

Mr. Reddy had promised to fill 2 lakh vacancies in the first year after coming to power, double the social security pension amount, increase the amount of Rythu Bandhu (Bharosa) and Dalit Bandhu, implement pay revision commission to employees and several others to various other sections. However, he had successfully betrayed every such section for the last 24 months.

Speaking after welcoming former Mayor of Bandlaguda Jagir Srilatha Prem Goud and her followers led by party leader P. Karthik Reddy and Maheshwaram MLA P. Sabitha Indra Reddy here on Sunday, Mr. Rama Rao said the unemployed youth had been staging protests across the State demanding issuance of employment notifications and it was the responsibility of the government to give assurance to them.

The BRS working president asked the government to implement the job calender issued for publicity in the past. His government had only filled jobs whose recruitment process was in the final stages when the previous BRS Government demitted the office and not filled even one job afresh, he pointed out.

Vexed with the betrayals of the Congress government, all sections of people were recollecting the days of former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s administration and the development achieved across the State including in Hyderabad, he said.

On the BRS MLAs’ defecting to the ruling Congress party, Mr. Rama Rao said their position was pitiable since they were claiming themselves as Congress MLAs in their constituencies but were unable to get any funds for development. On the other hand, they were going on record before the Assembly Speaker that they were still with BRS to escaper the disqualification.

He sought to know from Rajendra Nagar MLA T. Prakash Goud whether he had defected to the ruling party following the cancellation of the metro rail connectivity route by the Congress government.

Meanwhile in a preparatory meeting held with the party leaders of the combined Adilabad and Medak district for the urban local bodies (ULBs) elections, Mr. Rama Rao said the BJP would never grow into an alternative to the Congress in Telangana due to its double standards on the interests of the State on inter-state issues such as river waters. The party’s show in Assembly and Lok Sabha elections was only a temporary bulge.
