TRS victory is confirmed, says Harish Rao
The Hindu
BJP clueless about welfare schemes implemented in TS
Senior TRS leader and Minister for Finance T. Harish Rao has asserted that the victory of the ruling party was confirmed with the surveys being conducted by agencies engaged by different political parties and the Opposition leaders were indulging in false propaganda against the TRS as they were desperate.
The welfare and developmental schemes launched by the TRS government would ensure the victory of the party candidate and the opposition parties were trying to hoodwink the people unable to digest the fact that the TRS candidate was set to win the bypoll. Mr. Harish Rao addressed the media after the conclusion of the electioneering in Huzurabad constituency that is set to go for polling on October 30.
He said the TRS’ march had been continuing since 2001 and the government had introduced several innovative schemes like Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bima, Kalyana Lakshmi and others for the welfare of different sections, especially farmers. The BJP which was ruling at the Centre had no clue about the innovative schemes launched by the Telangana government and the BJP leaders were not able to clarify when asked about their government’s failure to launch such schemes.
