KCR has betrayed Telangana people, says BJP’s State in-charge Prakash Javadekar

Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has betrayed Telangana people with his corruption and family rule after having promised them sufficient water, jobs, and funds. This is the sum and substance of his rule in the past nine years, said former Union Minister and BJP party in-charge of Telangana, Prakash Javadekar on Monday.

“Telangana was a revenue-surplus State, but now has 3.21 lakh crore government and 1.65 lakh crore as loan guarantees. This is complete mismanagement of finances. There have been no teacher recruitments and wherever recruitments were sought to be done, there were paper leaks,” he told a press conference at the party office.

The only persons who got employment were the CM’s kith and kin such as K.T. Rama Rao, K.Kavita, T.Harish Rao and J.Santosh Kumar among others, he maintained. The Centre had cleared the Kaleshwaramam lift irrigation project expecting farmers to be benefitted as water was needed for Telangana but after spending ₹1.2 lakh crore, up from ₹40,000 crore, only one lakh acres was being irrigated as against 18 lakh acres, he charged.
