\"If Congress Wins, Your Lives Will Have Tears, Darkness, Pain: KTR\"

HYDERABAD: If the people of Telangana vote the Congress to power, it will lead to terrible consequences. Their lives will once again be filled with tears, darkness, scarcity and problems, warned BRS working president and minister K.T. Rama Rao on Sunday while addressing a meeting of the party’s youth wing and activists.

“Today, we are the number one state in the country on most parameters, from growth to development, from investments and jobs creation to welfare schemes. We are able to look after every section of the society and become a role model state for the country. We could achieve all this because of the able leadership and stable government under Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao. If we rock the boat, things will go bad again,” he said.

Continuing the BRS narrative of comparing the track-record of the various parties, Rama Rao said, “let us all think as children of Telangana. Let us recall and reflect on how Telangana was ten years ago and how it is today. See the difference the BRS government, under Chandrashekar Rao, has brought for all of us. If you vote the Congress party to power, we will lose all the advantage.”

Picking on the craze for selfies, he said, “Since you all want to take selfies all the time and post them on social media, I request you to take a selfie with development. Go to our success stories and take selfies. Share them on social media. Since the BJP is very strong on social media, hit back at them for the next 32 days, till elections are over. You are the mobile warriors of the BRS.”

Later, addressing a large gathering in LB Nagar where the audience predominantly comprised women, Rama Rao said, “it is very heartening to see so many women at a political meeting. With the women's reservation bill coming in the future, these are the ones who will lead our society.”

In all interactions, Rama Rao repeated the central message that while Telangana was languishing before 2014 under Congress rule, and the party was failing in neighbouring Karnataka, Telangana state and its people were doing very well under the BRS rule, a reason why the people must elect it for a third consecutive time.
