Ahead of his plans to float a national political party, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who is also the president of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), has stepped up attack against the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this time from the floor of the Assembly.
Policy paralysis and lopsided decision-making are weighing heavily against the poor and farmers and the BJP government’s practise of divisive and communal politics is leading the country towards foodgrains crisis, unabated inflation, rising prices, falling rupee value and falling of stature before the international community, he alleged while speaking on a short discussion on Central Electricity Bill in the Assembly on Monday.
Apparently referring to the Prime Minister as “vishwaguru” repeatedly in his over 90-minute reply, the Chief Minister said in spite of making tall claims of “Make in India” the country was forced to depend on China for shaving blades, nail cutters, crackers, kite-flying thread (manza) and even national flags. He alleged that writing off corporates’ debt of ₹12 lakh crore by terming them as NPAs (non-performing assets) was a scam.
