Union Home Minister Amit Shah attacked the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government in Telangana on Saturday, accusing it of being enmeshed in corruption for the previous ten years, ahead of the state’s assembly elections.
Shah claimed at a press conference held here that K. Chandrashekar Rao, the chief minister, was engaged in appeasement politics and that religiously based reservations were unconstitutional. Following a performance evaluation, he called on voters to cast ballots, stating that the people of the state are prepared to overthrow the BRS government in the upcoming elections on November 30.
“These elections are very important for the people of Telangana and the state of Telangana. These elections are going to pave the way because Telangana was formed in the backdrop of a long struggle…After 10 years, when we look back, we see that it now has a debt of lakhs and crores of rupees from being a once revenue surplus state. Today, the youth is disheartened, farmers, Dalits and backward are disappointed,” Shah said.
“I appeal to you to vote after evaluating the performance of all parties and I believe that the voters of the state will choose PM Modi-led BJP once they do this,” Shah said.
The Union Minister lashed out at the BRS alleging that it was involved only in corruption for the past decade.
Shah said, “In these 10 years, BRS did not do any enterprise besides corruption – be it Mission Bhagiratha scam, passport scam, Rs 4000 crore Miyapur land scam, Kaleshwaram project scam, liquor scam, granite scam…BRS workers collect money from the Dalits for the 2BHK housing scheme.” He said that the people of Telangana were aware of the corruption of chief minster KCR’s party BRS.
“They promised 1 lakh jobs but did not fulfil, They promised Rs 3000 per month as unemployment allowance but not given, and there are at least 8 paper leak cases. Free education was promised for 40 lakh people from KG to PG BUT it was not fulfilled” Shah said. He further alleged that 7 lakh poor people were promised but not given houses and 1 lakh loan of the poor was not waived off.
