KTR challenges Congress MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, says nothing can stop Jagadish Reddy in Suryapet

SURYAPET: BRS working president and Minister K T Rama Rao on Monday challenged Congress MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy and claimed that nothing could stop Minister Jagadish Reddy from winning the upcoming Assembly elections from Suryapet.

KTR said in a public meeting after the inauguration of the IT tower in Suryapet, no matter how many tricks and conspiracies were concocted, Jagadish Reddy's victory could not be prevented and his victory in Suryapet was certain.

The Congress claimed to have been in power for 55 years while the BJP claimed to have been in power for 10 years. The Congress and the BJP should focus on their achievements instead of counting the years in power as demonstrated by KCR through achievements of the KCR government in Telangana in the last nine years, he said.

KTR attacked the Congress party and its Telangana Chief Revanth Reddy, where he said that the Congress party was in the hands of a thief who was earlier caught in the ‘vote for note’ case. He added that the same person was selling seats/tickets at different prices to the leaders. He is selling seats today, tomorrow he will sell Telangana state if he comes to power.

KTR said that a medical college was established in Suryapet, which had PG seats and now had an IT tower that turned Suryapet district into a unique destination.

KTR said that Congress leader Komatireddy Venkat Reddy worked as a Minister in the Congress Government but he did not do anything for Nalgonda. Let alone an IT company, he could not even get a computer for anyone here, he said.

While expressing apprehensions on six guarantees, KTR said if Congress is given a chance to govern, three things would happen for the guarantee, and that included - a three-hour power supply in a day, a change of CM every year, and a lot of scams in the state. “No one knows who will become the Chief Minister if Congress wins the election. Electing Congress means inviting a power crisis, said KTR.

“Chief Minister KCR is giving pensions to senior citizens, widows, and physically challenged persons, helping them to live with self-esteem,” said KTR. He said that no Congress or BJP-led state government was giving pension amounts to physically challenged persons which is on par with Telangana.

The KCR government introduced welfare programs and developed the Suryapet district by providing water, electricity, jobs and medical colleges so that residents no longer had to travel to Nalgonda. KTR urged the people of Suryapet to support Jagadish Reddy and ensure his victory with a majority of 50,000 votes, KTR said.

"The war should be fought directly in politics and if you dare to fight, you should do it. But it seems that some people are playing dirty politics. Jagadish Reddy, like a younger brother to Chief Minister KCR, joined the Telangana movement as a soldier 24 years ago with the belief of winning the state, without any aspirations for positions.

"Komati Reddy Venkat Reddy says that Jagadish Reddy will not get deposits in Suryapet. I challenge Komati Reddy Venkat Reddy and let's see who doesn't get deposits in Suryapet, " said KTR.

BRS Working President KTR gave a counter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi who said BRS is a family party. “BRS is a family of four crore people in Telangana and KCR is the head of the family.” He added that Chief Minister KCR took the place of a son while providing pensions to the elderly, and stood as a brother to the farmers by giving Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bheema. “KCR is a member of every family in Telangana,” he said.

In response to BJP leaders' comments on BRS indulging in dynasty politics, KTR said that BRS functions on the ideology of Queen Rani Rudrama Devi from the Kakatiya dynasty and constructs temples and develops water bodies. Furthermore, he said BRS believes in the ‘Jal Jangal Zameen’ slogan of revolutionary leader Komaram Bheem, works for the upliftment of weaker sections like Sarvai Papanna, sets up Gurukula Schools, prioritizing education like Social reformer Bhagya Reddy Varma. He also added that BRS works for the interests of the people of Telangana as per the ideology of Telangana martyrs like Srikanth Achari and many more.

Lashing out the statement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on KCR not weaving off farm loans in Telangana, KTR said that the Chief Minister had waived off farm loans twice in the State and asked the Prime Minister to not make baseless comments.

KTR inaugurates Suryapet IT Tower

IT Minister KTR Rama Rao and Minister Jagadish Reddy inaugurated the Suryapet IT Tower, which promotes the growth of IT in tier- II and tier- III cities of Telangana.
