The Congress party has alleged that Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is spreading lies by distorting the statement of its Telangana Congress President A. Revanth Reddy on the issue of free power to farmers.
On a call given by Revanth Reddy, party cadres on Wednesday staged protests at power sub-stations across the state against what he calls the fraud being committed by the BRS government in the name of free power to farmers.
The protestors raised slogans against the state government and burnt effigies of Chief Minister KCR. They challenged the BRS government to prove that it is supplying free electricity to farmers anywhere in the state.
The protest has been apparently called to counter the demonstrations being held by the BRS across the state against Revanth Reddy’s reported statement that there is no need for 24-hour free power to farmers.
The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president reportedly made the remark in the United States while speaking at a meeting of the Telugu Association of North America (TANA). He also stated that a three-hour power supply is sufficient for farmers to irrigate their lands.
AICC in-charge for Telangana Manikrao Thakare has alleged that the BRS distorted Revanth Reddy’s statement and was trying to spread lies as it was afraid of the rising graph of the Congress party in the state.
“The BRS leaders have realized that ground is slipping under their feet and hence they are spreading lies,” he said. Claiming that the Congress party stands for the welfare of farmers, he said the party would promise 24-hour free electricity.
Recalling that their leader Rahul Gandhi had released the farmers’ declaration in Telangana, he said the Congress would do more for farmers than what BRS claims to be doing.
