Speaking to media persons during the election campaign in Suryapet district for Congress candidate from Nalgonda K. Raghuveera Reddy on Saturday, Uttam Kumar Reddy dismissed KCR’s recent accusations against the Congress government.
KCR had made these allegations at a roadshow in Ramagundam after a 48-hour ban imposed by the Election Commission for using offensive and unparliamentary language.

“Instead of reflecting on his behaviour during the ban, KCR resumed his speech with more lies, continuing to blame Congress for actions taken during his government. As the saying goes, ‘Old habits die hard,'” Uttam Kumar Reddy remarked.
He further pointed out that the Congress has repeatedly clarified that it was the KCR government, not the Congress, that agreed to hand over Telangana’s projects to the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB).

However, Congress stepped in to stop it. By repeating false claims, KCR is trying to mislead the public. Regarding the Singareni issue, Uttam Kumar Reddy explained that KCR, in collusion with the Modi government, attempted to privatize Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), a move that Congress opposed, leading to its cancellation.
He criticized KCR for remaining silent when the BJP government attempted to privatize four coal blocks in Telangana. “As a Member of Parliament, I opposed the privatization and demanded their allotment to SCCL,” he said.

Uttam Kumar Reddy mentioned that within three months of coming to power, the Congress government streamlined SCCL’s operations and launched a Rs. 1 crore accident insurance scheme for Singareni employees.
He accused KCR of neglecting SCCL and its workers for nine-and-a-half years and now, with elections approaching, attempting to scare Singareni workers to win their votes. “KCR’s BRS party, not Singareni, is the one facing a survival threat.

The party is unlikely to win a single seat in the Lok Sabha elections and could soon disappear from Telangana,” he added.
The minister also warned people to be cautious of BJP leaders who spread false promises and hatred to win elections.

Uttam Kumar Reddy emphasized that the Congress-led coalition would form the next government at the Centre and work to rectify the injustices done by the BJP and BRS regimes. He highlighted that Congress has released a special manifesto with 23 major promises, and if voted into power, the new Congress government would bring unprecedented development to Telangana.
