Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy took severe exception towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s repeated allegations against Telangana and other Congress ruled state governments accusing them of failing in fulfilling election promises. During his poll rallies in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, PM Modi has been warning people against electing a Congress government stating they have been miserably failing wherever they elected.
Addressing the media at Pradesh Congress Committee office in Mumbai, Revanth Reddy said that Congress governments are performing better than any BJP-led government. He asserted that his government had implemented farm loan waiver up to Rs 2 lakh, free bus travel for women, 200 units of free power supply to the poor and a gas cylinder at Rs 500.
He said that they would take up a massive campaign on his government’s achievements until PM Modi stops telling lies to people about Congress governments. He recalled that they had waived Rs 17,869 crore farm loans by relieving 22,22,067 farmers from debt burden in 25 days.
Revanth Reddy challenged the Prime Minister that he is ready to submit all the details to the Centre if it wanted. The Telangana government has filled 50,000 vacant posts in 10 months of coming to power, he said. “We gave befitting answers to PM Modi’s criticism on farmers’ issues in Telangana. Finally, Modi had to delete his tweet after a strong counter,” he said.
Revanth Reddy also explained the launch of the Caste Census aiming to render social justice in Telangana and the resolution adopted in the state cabinet meeting demanding Modi to consider the census during the National Census 2025.
Moreover, Revanth Reddy cautioned people of Maharashtra that Narendra Modi government has been deceiving them and he had taken away as many as 17 major projects to Gujarat from Maharashtra. He appealed to them to give a befitting reply to the lies of PM Modi by electing a Congress-led government in the state.
