Telangana: CM Revanth Reddy Criticizes the Opposition BRS alleging Anti-Farmer Policies
In Telangana, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy criticized the opposition BRS alleging anti-farmer policies, dictatorial tendencies and of lack of respect for those who had laid down their lives for the State.
Replying to the motion of thanks to the Governor’s address, the Chief Minister said all sections of people suffered during the past 10 years of BRS rule. He alleged that there was no freedom and there was no way to register a protest.
He added that it was the reign of total dictatorship. When BRS member Harish Rao tried to seek clarifications, Speaker G Prasad Kumar adjourned the house to the 20th of this month.
Terming the recent verdict as against the family rule of K Chandrashekar Rao, the Chief Minister alleged that even after losing the election, the family rule continued. He added that KCR became the legislature party leader, despite the party having several senior leaders.
He alleged that the BRS government did not honour the martyrs of the Telangana movement, and asked whether Pragati Bhavan had ever invited any of their families and reassured them that the government was with them in their hour of difficulty. He said the government had not dropped the cases registered against the Telangana protagonists during the past 10 years.
He also alleged that the BRS did not implement any insurance scheme to cover crops. Quoting the National Crime Record Bureau statistics, he said over 8,000 farmers had died by suicide in the past decade.
