Shah Promises Rs 1,000 Crore for Developing Warangal Hospital

Hyderabad: Union home minister Amit Shah on Saturday promised to allocate Rs 1,000 crore for developing the MGM Hospital in Warangal, while addressing a series of ‘Sakala Janula Vijaya Sankalpa Sabha’ meetings in Gadwal, Nalgonda and Warangal.

“The BRS government never bothered about the development of the hospital. Rodents are biting the patients leading to their death,” he said.

Listing out local issues, he said: “The BRS government neglected Jogulamba temple and CM KCR failed to keep his promise to give Rs 100 crore for the temple. They didn’t even spend Rs 70 crore sent by the Central government on the temple. Further, he did not build the Gurramgadda bridge and on the Krishna River, Gattu Lift Irrigation Project remains pending.”

“The Nettempadu reservoir remains incomplete and a 300-bed hospital in Gadwal figures among its failed promises. Its time people decide whether they want a double-engine government of BJP or false promises of KCR. KCR failed to build a handloom weavers’ park in Gadwal and also did not give double bedroom houses here. I want to tell young voters it’s time now to give VRS to the BRS,” he said.

Referring to BRS, AIMIM and the Congress as 2G, 3G and 4G parties, respectively, he criticised them for keeping power within the family.

“People should now vote for BJP, which sent Chandrayaan to Moon. The BRS is the most corrupt party in the country and has indulged in corruption in Mission Bhagiratha, Rs 4,000 crore Miyapur land scam, outer ring road, Rs 40,000 crore scam in the Kaleshwaram dam, Rs 22,000 crore Mission Kakatiya scam and did not even leave liquor from their scam agenda. We will probe all these and punish them for indulging in corruption. KCR failed to make a Dalit CM as promised by him and wants to make KTR CM of the state,” Shah said.

Training his guns on the Congress, he said, “It has always cheated Telangana. It didn’t allow the Ram temple to materialise for 75 years. Rama Lala will be open to the public on January 22nd. If the BJP comes to power in Telangana, we will take people from here to the grand opening free of cost. These elections will not just decide the fate of your MLA candidate, they will determine the future of the country. It’s a fight between Modi’s good governance and KCR’s misgovernance.”

He said that the credit for giving 25 per cent reservation to BC students in medical colleges was Narendra Modi’s. “Both BRS and Congress are anti-BC parties. KCR cheated the youth of Telangana by leaking question papers and playing havoc with the lives of youths, leading to death of students like Pravallika. Once we come to power, we will fill 2.5 lakh jobs in Telangana,” he said.

He also rapped the Telangana government for not celebrating Telangana Liberation Day officially, “as it has succumbed to pressure from Owaisi with an eye on their vote bank.”

“We will celebrate the day officially once we come to power. With an eye on vote bank BRS gave religion-based reservations to Muslims to appease them. We will abolish this and apportion the quota to BCs. KCR did not do the needful to the deity in Bhadrachalam. This was also to appease Owaisi. The BRS is being steered by the MIM,” he said.
