Due to inefficient handling of the Congress government, within six months of its regime, BRS executive president and former IT Minister K T Rama Rao expressed concern that several companies were leaving the state.
Recalling that during the 10-year KCR regime Telangana stands as a pioneer in attracting investments, he alleged that the present government is failing in keeping existing companies, leave alone attracting new companies.
Taking part in campaigning for the Graduate MLC by-election in Warangal, he pointed out the deteriorating conditions in the State since the Congress came to power in Telangana, including power cuts and discontinuation of ongoing projects.
He stated that Tech Mahindra leaving Warangal was a significant setback, showing the government’s inefficiency to retain existing companies and attract new ones.
“Tech Mahindra left Warangal, and the construction work of the new MGM Hospital stopped. The power is going out frequently in hospitals like the existing MGM hospital. Who will be responsible if newborns or ICU patients die due to these power cuts? Is this the change people wanted?” he asked.
He slammed Congress for claiming to provide 2 lakh jobs but failing to issue even one notification. “Revanth Reddy boasts about providing 30,000 jobs, but these are actually the jobs given by the K Chandrashekhar Rao government. This is nothing but deceit,” he said.
KTR urged graduates to vote for BRS candidate Rakesh Reddy, emphasising his qualifications and commitment to public service. “Rakesh Reddy is well-educated, coming from an ordinary family and winning a gold medal at BITS Pilani, he said
In contrast, he alleged that the Congress candidate has a history of blackmail and criminal charges,” he stated, adding that if Rakesh Reddy wins, he will hold the Congress accountable for its promises in the legislative council.
He urged them to cast their first priority vote for Rakesh Reddy. “This is not just a vote for one person, but for accountability and progress,” he asserted.
