Demands sacking of Assam CM for his remarks against Rahul Gandhi
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of spoiling the country’s economy by disturbing religious harmony. “It is time people responded and reacted to such attempts,” he said.
The CM was referring to the recent incidents in Karnataka targeting girls of a particular community. “They (BJP) are trying to turn Karnataka into a Kashmir Valley by fanning communal passions,” he said while addressing a public meeting at Raigir in Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri district on Saturday.
Stating that Bengaluru is the Silicon Valley of Inida, he sought to know whether investments would flow to the country in the times to come if such an ‘atmosphere’ was created. “Investors come to places where there is proper law and order, peace and an ecosystem for economic growth. Will anybody invest in Afghanistan now?” he asked and said that Telangana has been attracting investments in the recent years due to a healthy ecosystem and that has made Hyderabad second only to Bengaluru in IT/ITES exports.
