Aiming his guns on BJP State President Bandi Sanjay and BJP MLA Eatala Rajender on their home turf, Bharat Rashtra Samithi working president KT Rama Rao, listing out their broken promises, urged the people not to fall prey to the saffron party’s sentimental and political tricks.
He claimed that the BJP-led union government was fleecing the country’s poor while filling the coffers of corporates, and that under the BJP, inflation and unemployment were on the rise, and that people were being targeted with divisive politics.
Prior to Narendra Modi, 14 Prime Ministers amassed a debt of Rs 56 lakh crore, but under Modi’s regime alone, a debt of Rs 100 crore was incurred, he said, adding that the BJP government could not list a single major achievement in eight years.
Addressing a public meeting in Jammikunta, Karimnagar, where both Sanjay and Rajender are from, the IT and Industries Minister charged that, except for Adani, who prospered under the BJP’s rule, the rest of the country was concerned about rising commodity prices.
Modi promised to double farmers’ income by 2022, create two crore jobs each year, and deposit Rs 15 lakh into Jan Dhan accounts.
“Forget about fulfilling these promises. The people’s hard-earned money is now being deposited into a single individual’s account,” Rama Rao said.
Accusing Bandi Sanjay and Huzurabad MLA Eatala Rajender of failing to get funds and projects approved for Telangana, the BRS working president said BJP leaders promised development in the state but not a single project was approved.
During the Huzurabad bypoll, Rajender promised that the BJP would raise pensions to Rs 3,000 and convince union Home Minister Amit Shah to approve new roads and development in the Huzurabad. The Industries Minister stated that it had been 14 months and he had not received a single rupee for development work in his constituency.

He slammed Rajender for his comments on Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao’s rule, saying the BJP MLA should remember that in 2004, when 33 candidates were shortlisted for the MLA ticket, the Chief Minister had selected Rajender despite his inexperience and introduced him to the people. It was unfortunate that Rajender later backstabbed the Chief Minister, he said.
In response to the BJP MLA’s comments that the Chief Minister’s rule was threatening to the state, the Minister stated that Telangana was extending Rythu Bandhu, free power, and ensuring the welfare of all sections. On the contrary, 700 farmers had lost their lives during the 13-month-long agitation in New Delhi. Narendra Modi was the first Prime Minister to levy a five percent GST on handlooms, he said, asking which government was a threat to the nation.
“Do you want the BRS government, which offers Rs 2000 pension or the Gujarat Government, which offers Rs 700 pension? Do you want Modi, who increased gas cylinder prices from Rs 400 to Rs 1200, or CM KCR garu, who offers KCR Kits and Kalyana Lakshmi?” Rama Rao asked, also demanding Sanjay and Rajender to list out their contributions to the development of Karimnagar and Huzurabad.
He emphasised that the BRS was now determined to raise its flag in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and other states, and that while the party’s name had changed, the DNA had not. He stated that BRS was for and by the people.
Sanjay was content to be Gujarat’s slave, but the people of Karimnagar or Telangana were not interested in dancing to the tunes of a Gujarati party, he said, to whistles from the crowd.
“Last time, it was a mistake. Bandi Sanjay and Eatala Rajender will approach you again playing the sentiment card and with a bagful of political tricks. But this time, think wisely and vote for development,” Rama Rao said.
