Working president of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and Minister for IT, Industries and Urban Development K.T. Rama Rao has sought to know from the Prime Minister Narendra Modi whether he is not concerned about the country’s falling image following the rupee rate plummeting to 79, the lowest ever, against the US dollar.
He reminded the Prime Minister that it was he (Mr. Modi), as Chief Minister of Gujarat, who had spoken about the country’s falling image and its economic vibrancy when the US$ conversion rate was approaching ₹50 mark. Mr. Modi had also flayed the then Congress-led UPA Government for increasing the domestic LPG cylinder rate to over ₹400 but he was silent now although the cylinder price had crossed ₹1,050. He said time was ripe for the country’s people to say “bye bye” to Mr. Modi and BJP.
Speaking at an event organised in the party office here where seven councillors and two co-option members of Kalwakurthy municipality, several sarpanches and others, all belonging to the Congress, were admitted to TRS he also reminded Mr. Modi that even after the 2014 election promise, the BJP Government had not given national project status to Palamuru-Rangareddy.
