Uttam asks KCR to apologise to people for ‘destroying’ Telangana

Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy said that former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao should use his proposed bus yatra to apologise to people for betraying their interests and neglecting their welfare during his 10-year tenure as chief minister.

“The 10-year rule of BRS in Telangana and the BJP at the Centre was of mismanaging the country leading to the deterioration of the economy, agriculture, public health, infrastructure, and other sectors,” he said while addressing a meeting in his Huzurnagar constituency on Sunday in support of Congress candidate K. Raghuveer Reddy for the Nalgonda Lok Sabha seat.

Mr. Reddy claimed that the BJP government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, inflicted significant damage on the economy through policies such as demonetisation, faulty GST, and other economic blunders. PM Modi focused more on managing headlines to benefit the BJP instead of managing the country’s economy. Moreover, Mr. Modi used Hindu-Muslim rhetoric to distract the public and suppressed dissenting voices by deploying Central agencies like the CBI and ED against them, he charged.
