Taking strong objection to BJP State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar’s criticism of the State Government in handling the handloom sector, TRS working president and Industries Minister K.T. Rama Rao dared Mr. Sanjay to mount pressure on the BJP-led Central Government to allot an exclusive textile park to Telangana.
In an open letter to Mr. Sanjay, Mr. Rama Rao attacked the BJP for its ‘anti-weaver’ policies that plunged the sector into a crisis. “At a time when the Central Government’s policies plunged the textile sector into a severe crisis, Mr. Sanjay is trying to cast aspersions on the government which is striving hard to protect the sector. Even chameleons are ashamed of his comments,” he said.
Mr. Sanjay, he said, was trying to garner media publicity by spreading falsehood against the TRS Government. He should instead focus on securing schemes aimed at the welfare of weavers if he was keen on protecting their interests, failing which people would teach a fitting lesson to the BJP in the coming days.
