Narendra Modi, KCR make tall claims but do nothing, says Puducherry CM

​Hyderabad: Describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao as big and small brothers respectively in making statements, Puducherry Chief Minister Narayanasamy predicted that the Congress would come back to power at the Centre under the leadership of AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi. Both Telugu States’ Chief Ministers were alleging that the Centre was giving nothing to them, he reminded and said, “Modi makes big statements but does nothing for the people”.

Delivering the inaugural address at the training camp for the Congress ZPTCs and MPTCs here on Monday, Narayanasamy alleged Modi was managing the people, keeping the media in his hand. Stating that the Smart Cities needed Rs 10 lakh crores, he asked Modi where from he would bring that money. Recalling that the UPA government gave Rs 8 lakh crore to the rural, urban panchayats and others, Narayanasamy said the Modi government allocated a mere Rs one lakh crore for the entire five-year term.

Party national leader Meenakshi Natarajan alleged that the NDA government was closing previous UPA government’s schemes. The present government was concentrating on centralisation of the de-centralised system. “It is nothing but an attack on democracy and the Congress activists will have to face this unitedly,” she exhorted.

AICC leaders Digvijay Singh, RC Kuntia, Koppula Raju, Meenakshi Natarajan, Suresh Sharma, State leaders K Jana Reddy, Shabbir Ali, Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, S Jaipal Reddy, Palvai Goverdhan Reddy, V Hanumantha Rao, Ponnala Lakshmaiah, Madhu Yashki Goud, Anjan Kumar Yadav, Balaram Naik, Mallu Ravi, Nandi Ellaiah, Sabitha Indra Reddy, DK Aruna, Sunitha Laxma Reddy, MLAs, MLCs, former MLAs and MLCs participated in the training camp while Ponnam Prabhakar presided.
