TPCC dubs BJP policies corporate-friendly
Telangana Congress on Sunday accused the BJP-led NDA government of making policies only to benefit some corporates who funded the Bharatiya Janata Party’s last election campaign.

Hyderabad: Telangana Congress on Sunday accused the BJP-led NDA government of making policies only to benefit some corporates who funded the Bharatiya Janata Party’s last election campaign.
Speaking on the occasion of 24th anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi Sadbhavana Yatra at Charminar, TPCC vice-president Mohammed Ali Shabbir condemned the recent decisions taken by the Centre. Referring to the hike in natural gas tariff by 46 per cent, he said this would benefit corporates like Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries. Similarly, the labour reforms would benefit only a few large corporate houses while the interests of poor workforce would get hurt. He also alleged that Centre was planning to privatise railways to benefit a few companies by taking investments from Japan.
He further alleged that 'Ache Din' have begun only for the companies which funded the BJP's election campaign. He accused Modi of misleading the common people through fake promises. “He promised to bring back black money within 100 days. However, now he himself has admitted that the return of black money would be a time consuming process and he would not even reveal the names of those involved. Modi’s present stand is not different from the version given by Congress party before elections,” he said. Recalling the services of Rajiv Gandhi, he said the former Prime Minister launched Sadbhavana Yatra from Charminar in 1990 to prevent the country from the threat of communalism. With BJP in power at the Centre, the circumstances today were quite similar to those that existed in 1990. Therefore, he urged the Congress cadres to work actively to promote Rajiv Gandhi’s message of peace and communal harmony.
Leader of Opposition K Jana Reddy, TPCC general secretary N Niranjan, Former Minister Danam Nagender, Former MP Anjan Kumar Yadav and other senior leaders also spoke.
