BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao cautioned people of the Secunderabad Parliamentary constituency not to get deceived by ‘bade bhai’ (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) and ‘chote bhai’ (Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy) one more time, as it would cost the interests of Telangana and its people very dearly.
Speaking during roadshows at Addagutta, Sanathnagar and Nampally, in support of party candidate T. Padmarao Goud, on Friday, he said the two had made tall promises to people but had failed to keep them. The discrimination against Telangana, particularly Hyderabad, was so glaring that when there were floods in city, the Centre had failed to send funds despite tall promises, but in case of Gujarat, Mr. Modi had extended ₹1,000 crore assistance immediately.
Sitting Secunderabad MP and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy too, had made a large number of promises but had failed to get anything from the Centre even to his constituency, lest the State. The policies of the Centre had made the living costly to the poor with spiralling prices over the last 10 years. At the same time, the Centre had written off ₹14 lakh crore borrowed by corporates as bad debts.
