JAMMU, Nov 18: In a scathing attack on the ruling Telangana Rashtriya Samiti (TRS), Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh said that K. Chandrasekhara Rao (KCR) is perhaps the only Chief Minister in the entire 70 years history of independent India, who never once went to the State Secretariat office and has always performed his official functions from his farm-house residence.
Addressing an election rally in support of the BJP State Legislative Party leader and party candidate from Amberpet Assembly constituency, G.Kishan Reddy, Dr Jitendra Singh accused KCR of running Talangana like a personal fiefdom. He said, during the KCR rule, the State has become a den of corruption, while the administration has become subservient to the family hierarchy.
The Chief Minister, he said, is guided by personal whims, fancies and superstitions, which is also said to be the reason why he avoids sitting in his designated office in the State Secretariat.
Most of the Centrally sponsored schemes of the Modi Government, Dr Jitendra Singh alleged, have failed to achieve their targets and the money allocated for them has been squandered by the State Government or diverted to unaccounted channels. This has ended up making Telangana a revenue – deficit State from its earlier status of revenue – surplus State.
By joining hands with Asaduddin Owaisi’s Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) Party, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the KCR-led TRS has only exposed its dubious design of playing communal card to garner votes through the appeasement of minority community. This, he said, is quite in contrast to the BJP’s transparent approach of justice for all and appeasement to none. While the BJP, he said, has supported empowering legislations regarding “Triple Talaq” and other social reforms, the TRS and its supporting parties continued to play vote-bank politics through expediency and rhetoric.
