Nalgonda: BJP state president N. Ramchander Rao on Friday accused the Congress of invoking the name of TD founder N.T. Rama Rao (NTR) to lure Andhra voters in the GHMC elections, stating that the party had no right to speak about him.
Addressing a meeting titled “Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Prashikshan Abhiyan” in Suryapet, he alleged that the Congress had altered its narrative for vote-bank politics. Referring to the Jubilee Hills bypoll, he said Congress leaders had made statements to attract minority votes and were now referring to NTR, who, he said, had entered politics after the Congress “insulted Telugu pride” and called for a Congress-mukt Bharat.
Terming the Congress government “corrupt and commission-driven party,” he alleged that it had exposed an anti-farmer approach through delays and irregularities in paddy procurement. He said farmers in erstwhile Nalgonda district were facing difficulties in selling their produce and demanded immediate procurement of all paddy, adding that the Centre reimburses procurement.
He also alleged that delays in procurement were forcing farmers to sell below the minimum support price.
Targeting the BRS, he said the party had lost public confidence due to alleged corruption and ineffective administration during its nine-year rule. He claimed that the BRS had failed to win any Lok Sabha seats and that several of its leaders were looking to join the BJP.
He said the BJP currently has eight MPs and eight MLAs in Telangana, attributing the growth to party workers. He expressed confidence that the BJP would form the next government in the state.
He further said that people across Telangana were now looking towards the BJP after giving opportunities to both the BRS and the Congress, and referred to the concept of a “double engine” government.
He also stated that the BJP had provided representation to OBCs, while alleging that the Congress only engages in OBC politics.
