Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Rao criticized BJP State leaders on Tuesday for criticizing State government schemes, despite the fact that the BJP government at the Centre was handing out award after award for Telangana’s performance at the national level.
Either BJP leaders at the Centre or those in the State BJP unit were brainless, he said, pointing out that the former were awarding Telangana’s performance while the latter were mindlessly criticizing the same schemes. He also noted that BJP-ruled states such as Maharashtra and Karnataka were sending teams to learn from Telangana’s schemes.
The recent BRS victory in the Sircilla CESS election was just a trailer, he said, adding that the full movie would come for the BJP in the ensuing Assembly elections in the State.
The BRS victory march would begin in Sircilla, and the party flag would be raised in the Karimnagar parliament constituency as well as throughout the State, he said, noting that despite BJP distributing money, voters in Sircilla had 15 directors supported by the BRS party to the CESS.
Rama Rao said the BJP had done nothing for Telangana and reiterated his challenge that he would resign if BJP leaders proved him wrong on the fact that Telangana had contributed Rs 3.68 lakh crore to the nation in the last eight years and received only Rs 1.68 lakh crore by way of tax devolution from the Centre.
“Neither the BJP nor Prime Minister Narendra Modi have done anything for Telangana. They keep appreciating and emulating our schemes, but do not extend any support. They keep spreading lies and hatred to mislead our youth, which should be strongly countered,” he said, pointing out that the BJP did not donate even Rs 10 for the Sri Rajarajeswara Swamy temple at Vemulawada.

Rama Rao expressed strong opposition to BJP State President Bandi Sanjay’s description of Prime Minister Modi as a God, and demanded to know on what basis was this. “Modi is God for whom and for what granted by him? Should we treat him as God for increasing the LPG and fuel price or not sanctioning any educational institution to Telangana in the last eight years; for bringing Farm Laws that killed over 700 farmers or not approving hike in ST reservations proposed by the Telangana government?” he asked.
During his eight-year tenure, Modi doubled India’s debts accumulated during the previous 14 Prime Ministers’ tenures. Modi was unwilling to waive farm loans taken out by farmers, but was willing to waive corporate loans worth more than Rs 12 lakh crore.
The State government however had deposited Rs 65,000 crore in the bank accounts of 66 lakh farmers under Rythu Bandhu, he said and appreciated Choppadandi MLA Sunke Ravishankar for handing over Rs 5 lakh Rythu Bima insurance to family members of a deceased farmer, who was a BJP worker.
BJP MPs such as Bandi Sanjay and Union Minister G Kishan Reddy had failed completely to secure funds for Telangana and were only fit to carry the footwear of their Gujarat bosses, he said, mocking BJP leaders’ claims that Modi had ended the Russia-Ukraine war when he was actually not even capable of resolving border disputes between BJP-ruled states such as Karnataka, Goa, and Maharashtra.
