Can Congress guarantee MLA loyalty, scam-free governance, asks BJP

In addition to its six recently-announced guarantees, the Congress should give three more guarantees to the Telangana public — that none of its MLAs will defect, they won’t indulge in any scams and will not distort Telangana history if they are elected in the forthcoming Assembly elections, demanded BJP national vice president D.K. Aruna on Tuesday.

Addressing a press conference at the party office, the senior BJP leader said Telangana people are not going to be “fooled” by the “empty” promises in the form of guarantees of the Congress as several of the schemes promised before the Karnataka Assembly elections are not being implemented there and that includes the ₹4,000 pension.

“Why are these schemes not being implemented in any of the States ruled by Congress in Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and Chhattisgarh,” she questioned. “The Congress party has the single point agenda of coming to power at any cost without any thought for the development of the State and the needs of the future generations,” charged the BJP leader.
