Hyderabad: Under attack from the Congress for some days, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday used choicest words for the president of the state’s prime opposition, the Congress.

Referring to TPCC chief N. Uttam Kumar Reddy’s recent statement claiming credit for the idea of farmer subsidy and accusing the state government of copying their ideas, Mr Rao said it is all about one having some akal (intelligence) to realise that it is not nakal (photocopy).

“When I announced Rs 4,000 per acre free fertiliser scheme last week, Uttam said I copied (nakal) the Congress’ scheme. Even if we assume it to be true for a mom-ent, they should not make such claims public, for fear of public mockery. But the Congress leaders don’t know that my scheme is not about just Rs 4,000 or fertilizers. My scheme is not for one crop but for two crops. The subsidy will be credited twice in May and October every year. Even after knowing this, if he calls me nakal, it shows he has no akal,” Mr Rao remarked.

Referring to PCC president, Mr Rao said, “A sannasi (a useless fellow) asks why can’t the subsidy be implemented from now itself. My plan is to establish a foolproof system first by setting up farmers’ associations at various levels. It will take a few months for this. But the Congress leaders want the scheme to be implemented shabbily now itself.”
