Hitting out at Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao for speaking ‘insultingly’ about Indiramma Rajyam, Telangana Congress president A. Revanth Reddy said distributing 25 lakh acres of land to poor people, giving podu lands to Scheduled Tribes, constructing irrigation projects and providing reservations to women in local bodies were the achievements of Indiramma Rajyam.
Mr. Reddy said the arrogance of KCR, who started his political career under Indira Gandhi’s rule, has reached new levels that he is mocking Indira Gandhi’s rule that brought Green Revolution in the country providing food to all and ensured Dalits lived with their head held high and dignity. “Wasn’t it Sanjay Gandhi who made KCR Single Window Director in Siddipet and the Youth Congress president,” he asked.
Mr. Chandrashekhar Rao should apologise for demeaning Indira Gandhi’s rule, he said while addressing several public meetings and roadshows in Parkal, Narsapur and Khairatabad. “KCR has humiliated the self-respect of Telangana while Congress party gave them the confidence and respect distributing lands. Land is not just an asset but represents the self-confidence,” he said.
