Alleging that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao was least bothered about the problems of the people, Telangana Pradesh Congress
Hyderabad: Alleging that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao was least bothered about the problems of the people, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that Chandrashekar Rao met Prime Minister Narendra Modi only to turn his black money into white. There were several doubts among the people on Chandrasekhar Rao’s meeting with the Prime Minister, he said.
The people were still facing a lot of hardships due to demonetisation of big notes, he said, and revealed that the Congress would take up dharnas and agitations against the demonetisation of big notes issue.
Speaking to the media at Gandhi Bhavan here on Wednesday after a meeting with important party leaders, Uttam said that the economy of the nation was fragmented with the demonetisation of big notes. The BJP was indulging in counter attack when the Congress questioned it on the problems faced by the people, he said, and asked the Prime Minister to tell what happened to his assurance of depositing Rs 15 lakh in everybody’s account by bringing black money from foreign countries. Modi’s rule was reflecting Tuglaq rule, he criticised and said that breaks were applied for the developing India with the maladroit decision. The GDP fell to the bottom level due to the demonetisation move, he pointed out.
He called upon the party cadre to participate in assisting the people, who stayed in long queues before banks and ATMs. Uttam made it clear that Modi had to own the responsibility of deaths taking place at banks.
Expressing objection over the construction of new camp office with Rs 40 crore by the Chief Minister, Uttam asked Chandrasekhar Rao to tell whether Telangana State was a secular one or not, to believe in superstitions and vastu and wasting public money. The Chief Minister left to the winds his assurance of constructing two lakh double-bedroom houses this financial year, he alleged, adding that Chandrasekhar Rao concentrated only on constructing lavish buildings for his own sake.
