People Fed Up With KCR’s Misrule: Bhatti Vikramarka

Yadadri/Hyderabad, May 2 (Maxim News): CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka said that Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao’s government led down the people of Telangana who believed that separate state would free them from all their difficulties and would offer solution to all the problems, be it allocation of funds, jobs and irrigation facilities

Bhatti Vikramarka’s People’s March padayatra entered its 47th day, today, addressing a meeting at Masaipet at Yadagirigutta Mandal, he said that the people of Telangana have become fed up with the misrule of Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao’s government, the people have decided to bring back the Congress rule in the state, he said AICC chairperson Sonia Gandhi gave Telangana State for the all-round development of Telangana people who felt they did not get a fair deal in the combined State. Though the Congress-led UPA government did not have enough majority, the Congress party mobilised the support of all political parties in the country and successfully passed the legislation for Telangana State in Parliament. The Congress Party would not play politics for its whims and fancy, he said.

Sharing the sad plight of people who shared their hardships and disillusionment with the BRS government during his Padayatra. Bhatti said that he felt sad when Balaraju with MA Med and Satyanarayana with M.Sc Physics qualification said that they were living by ironing clothes as there was no recruitment to fill vacant government jobs.

The weavers’ community lamented that they hoped that the government would give a discount on Yarn in Telangana State. However, while the Telangana government was imposing a tax of four percent on yarn, the BJP government in the Centre imposed a GST of 18 percent on cotton clothes. “The handloom workers said in the next elections they would vote for Congress Party and bring back Indiramma governance where the poor would not be burdened with taxes,” Bhatti said.

People were in despair that none of their dreams were realised in Telangana State which was achieved after a long and united struggle by all sections of society, he said pointing out that the Yadagirigutta-Rajupeta road was laid by the then Congress government. Yet in all these years, the damaged road was not repaired by the BRS government and people were forced to endure back-breaking journeys on the road filled with potholes, he said.

Reeling out the failures of the BRS government. Bhatti said it did not construct one multi-purpose project after it came to power nor took up projects like the international airport or an Outer Ring Road nor set up big industries to generate employment for local people. Then the State government borrowed Rs.5 lakh crore. Where all these funds were being diverted and deployed by KCR, he sought to know. Should one assume that Telangana was a successful State just because KCR chose to construct a new Secretariat by ignoring the basic needs of people for quality education and health care?

The BRS leaders diverted projects meant for the public good for their own selfish needs. For instance, while the Congress government before bifurcation designed a project to supply Devadula waters to irrigate lands in Alair through the Tapasupalli project, the BRS Minister Harish Rao diverted Tapasupalli waters to Siddipet instead of Alair, Bhatti alleged.

Fed up with the rule of the BRS government, people were coming forward to bring back the Congress government with Indiramma’s commitment to the welfare of the poor, Bhatti said.

The CLP leader also said if Congress Party came to power it would provide cooking gas cylinders at Rs.500, offer loan waiver and support prices to farmers apart from Rs.12,000 investment support per year, provide compulsory free education to all and free medical treatment upto Rs.5 lakh under Arogyasri.

He also said every year job calendar would be released and till the unemployed got jobs, an unemployment dole of Rs.3,000 would be given an old age pension would be given to all eligible aged people in the family and the State would be turned green through the Pranahita-Chevella project and irrigation facility would be provided to Alair under Gandamalla project.

The plight of sarpanches under BRS government was pathetic as bills were not sanctioned to them for the works undertaken and some sarpanches caught in a debt trap committed suicide. He reminded people that Telangana was achieved to provide development fruits of Telangana to all sections of people and utilise Telangana resources for the well-being of people. He asserted that the Congress flag would be hoisted in the State with the support and cooperation of all. (Maxim News)
