Huzurnagar : Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President and Nalgonda MP Uttam Kumar Reddy has strongly condemned the TRS party for distributing huge cash and liquor to lure voters of Huzurnagar constituency to seek their votes in the bye-elections to be held on October 21.
Addressing a series of meetings in different villages and thandas on Wednesday, Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the ruling TRS has already sensed a humiliating defeat in Huzurnagar and therefore, its leaders have been trying all means to lure voters by way of distributing cash and liquor worth crores of rupees. Stating that the cash and liquor being distributed by TRS leaders was from the ill-gotten money they accumulated through corruption in different projects, he advised the voters to take whatever is being given to them, but vote for the Congress candidate Padmavathi Reddy on October 21.
However, he said that the use of cash, liquor or the misuse of police and official machinery would not help TRS in evading a certain defeat in Huzurnagar bye-elections. He asked people to question TRS leaders on non-fulfilment of promises of waiver of crop loans upto Rs. 1 lakh, 3 acres of land for Dalits, unemployment allowance for jobless youth and other failures.
Responding to the remarks of TRS Working President and Minister K. Tarakarama Rao calling Congress party a ‘sinking ship’, Uttam Kumar Reddy said, “Congress is not a ship, but an ocean and its bottom has a bulk of sunken tiny boats like TRS. Only rats desert a sinking ship while brave sailors fight with the situation to fill the holes. KTR neither understands philosophy nor politics. He cannot influence Huzurnagar voters with hollow words and obsolete slogans,” he said.
Uttam Kumar Reddy reiterated that the TRS Government did not take up a single major development programme in Huzurnagar constituency.(NSS)
