Fadnavis criticizes Revanth for appeasement politics, condemns BRS and Congress for misrule ahead of Telangana municipal elections.
Launching a scathing attack on the Congress, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis accused Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy of resorting to vote bank politics for electoral gains in the February 11 municipal polls in Telangana.
The Congress’s politics of appeasement led to the Partition of India, he alleged while addressing an election rally in the poll-bound Kagaznagar town of Telangana’s Kumram Bheem Asifabad district on Saturday.
He slammed both the BRS and Congress, accusing them of ruining Telangana with their misrule and pushing the State into debt-burden. Both parties earned notoriety for massive betrayal of people’s trust, he charged, appealing to the voters in Telangana to elect the BJP candidates in the February 11 municipal elections to pave way for all-round development of the civic bodies.
Referring to the ‘thumping victory’ of the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in the recently held Maharashtra municipal elections, Mr. Fadnavis said the BJP will sweep the civic elections in Telangana too.
He said, “The BJP under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will transform the civic bodies into centres of growth by prioritising urban infrastructure development and civic amenities under various Central schemes such as AMRUT and UIDF.”
Responding to a request from Sirpur MLA P. Harish Babu for Maharashtra government’s cooperation for Pranahita project, Mr. Fadnavis said we believe in the ‘Ek Bharat Shreshta Bharat’ concept. You can come to Mumbai to hold discussions in this regard, he said, responding positively while citing the Memorandum of Understanding earlier signed by the Maharashtra and Telangana governments on Godavari water projects in 2016. This shows our commitment to allow neighbouring States utilise river waters without causing submergence in our State and affecting the interests of Maharashtra, he added.
