About 6.50 lakh auto-rickshaw drivers lost livelihood under Congress rule: KTR

CHEVELLA: BRS working president KT Rama Rao said on Monday that approximately 6.50 lakh auto-rickshaw drivers lost their livelihood during the Congress rule in Telangana. He said that the outcomes were a direct result of appointing someone with no prior ministerial experience as the Chief Minister of a State.

While addressing a constituency meeting in Chevella on Monday, KT Rama Rao acknowledged the lack of coordination among party workers. He said that over the last 10 years, there had been a noticeable deficit in coordination between the party and its workers. KTR promised them that he would take the responsibility of bridging the gap.

KTR said that the “car” had performed exceptionally well, travelled to Delhi over a span of 14 years. It roamed through every street at a consistent speed of 100 in the last decade and was anticipated to “run at double speed on the Chevella highway during the past Loksabha elections,” he added.

He said that the 'Car' had been serviced and was expected to run at a higher speed during the Lok Sabha elections. He also expressed confidence in BRS's victory in the Lok Sabha elections. He also expressed confidence in Ranjith Reddy winning the Chevella constituency in Lok Sabha elections.

He said, "Upon the declaration of Assembly results on December 3, I communicated that the people of Telangana entrusted us with a decade of service, and we remain forever indebted. Now, being in opposition, we are determined to fulfill our responsibilities and consistently question the ruling government, as the people have given us this new opportunity."

Whereas, during the KCR regime, we ensured prompt investment assistance. The current government is encountering substantial opposition within its initial 50 days in power."
