Hyderabad, Oct 31 (IANS) Launching the campaign for the by-election in Jubilee Hills assembly constituency on Friday, Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy accused BRS and BJP of maintaining ‘Fevicol bondage’.
He accused former Chief Minister and BRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), party working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy of spreading rumors against the people of the government and creating hurdles in the development of the state.
Addressing a street meeting in Vengal Rao Nagar, he said that BJP leaders are maintaining secret relations with BRS. He said that BJP’s victory on eight Lok Sabha seats last year is proof of this.
CM Revanth Reddy took a dig at Union Minister Kishan Reddy for ‘obstructing’ the Musi project and the expansion of Hyderabad Metro Rail.
He asked whether Kishan Reddy and another Union minister, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, had brought any money to the state. The CM said, “They are shamelessly saying that they will bomb Jubilee Hills. BJP MPs are roaming in Jubilee Hills without asking for funds from PM Modi.”
Saying that the Congress launched major development projects at a cost of Rs 4,000 crore in Secunderabad Cantonment after winning the by-election, he appealed to the voters of Jubilee Hills to support Congress candidate Naveen Yadav.
He said, “This is the time for constituency development, not for sentiments. There are ups and downs in politics. It will be a historic mistake if the Congress does not win the by-elections.”
The by-election in Jubilee Hills is scheduled to be held on November 11. This was necessitated by the death of sitting BRS MLA Maganti Gopinath. The opposition party has fielded his wife Maganti Sunita.
BJP has once again given ticket to Lankala Deepak Reddy.
The chief minister slammed KTR for not taking care of Jubilee Hills during his tenure as municipal administration and urban development minister for 10 years.
Responding to BRS’s allegations against the Congress candidate, the CM said, “The then rulers looted the state and never visited Jubilee Hills to address public grievances. People should decide who are the miscreants. BRS leaders promoted drug culture and Naveen Yadav always stood with the poor.”
The Chief Minister also questioned the BJP for objecting to the inclusion of Congress leader Mohammed Azharuddin as a minister in its cabinet.
“Why is BJP so angry with Azharuddin being given ministerial post?”. CM asked.
He promised to take the responsibility of development of Jubilee Hills after the by-election with the support of Azharuddin and Naveen Yadav.
