On what grounds Siddaramaiah, Shivakumar asking votes for Congress in Hyderabad, asks Harish Rao

Senior leader of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Minister T. Harish Rao has ridiculed the campaign for Congress candidates in Hyderabad by Karnataka Chief Minister K. Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar with tall claims about their rule when they are unable to keep many pre-poll promises including power supply to farm sector.

Speaking on the sidelines of a private event held in Hyderabad, the inauguration of Apple Innovation Centre, on November 11 he sought to know from the Congress leaders from Karnataka whether people of Telangana should support the policies such as struggling to supply 5-hour power supply to farm sector, suicides of farmers taking place every day and daily power cuts to all categories of consumers in Karnataka.

“Keep your home in order and make efforts to meet the needs of people there before giving free suggestions to others”, the BRS leader said and asked them which side they would take in the matter of Krishna waters which was under adjudication before the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal-II. The Government in Telangana would be remote controlled by Congress leaders in Bengaluru and Delhi if Congress was voted to power and the State’s interests would not be protected.
