KTR urges Telangana to teach lesson to BJP & Congress in polls for not doing anything for state. He urges to not get confused by those seeking votes & to think of BRS's instant decisions & implementation. He criticizes BJP & Congress for their lack of culture & unfulfilled promises.
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president and Information Technology (IT) Minister K. T. Rama Rao called upon the people to teach a lesson to both the national parties — BJP and Congress — in the forthcoming elections as they did nothing for Telangana. He said that the leaders of these parties could not take any decisions without permission from Delhi whereas the BRS has its bosses at gallis (streets).
Mr. Rama Rao entered into election mode soon after commencing his address at the public meeting held at the district headquarters on Wednesday after inaugurating IT Hub, NAC and Municipal office.
“Do not get confused with those who come and seek votes. Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has addressed the problems of all sections in the society. The leaders of both these parties cannot take any decision without permission from their leaders at New Delhi. But we, the BRS, can take decision instantly and implement them. Think about this and take a decision,” Mr. Rama Rao appealed to the public, particularly women, while addressing the public meeting.
Objecting to the criticism against the Chief Minister by both Congress and BJP leaders, the Minister said they should have some culture. “The BJP MP D. Arvind could not attend today’s programme as there was no contribution from the Centre in development works. The people of Nizamabad have decided to defeat him. Another leader TPCC president Revnath Reddy was caught redhanded with ₹50 lakh and lodged in jail,” said Mr. Rama Rao.
“The BJP is trying to create rift among the Hindus and Muslims to get votes. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised ₹15 lakh in each Jan Dhan accounts but nothing transpired. Similarly, 2 crore jobs a year had become an unfulfilled promise,” said the Minister and urged the people to teach a lesson to Mr. Modi by making that party (BJP) to lose deposits in elections.
Referring to the Congress, Mr. Rama Rao warned the public not to fall in their trap, stating it was in power for five decades but failed to take up development works and is responsible for the present conditions.
The Opposition Congress demanded that the government open the Gandhi Vatika Museum, depicting Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy and freedom struggle, built at a cost of ₹85 crore in Jaipur’s Central Park last year, during the Congress-led regime in Rajasthan. The museum has not been opened to the public, reportedly because of the administration’s engagements with the State Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
