Bhatti slams KTR’s disruptive actions

He said this while participating in Nehru’s birth anniversary celebrations at Gandhi Bhavan on Thursday. Some pseudo intellectuals here and there who did not know about Nehru and his immense contributions were indulging in false propaganda. “If one cared to know about India’s history and independence movement, then they would know about the role of Pandit Nehru,” he said.

Born in a rich and prominent family, Nehru spent more than a decade in jail for the sake of motherland. It was a great fortune of the people of the country that Nehru became the first Prime Minister of India. The development of India was due to the setting up of various science and technology centres in the country on a large scale.

If India was competing with the developed world in communication systems by sending satellites and spacecrafts to Moon and Mars, it was entirely due to Nehru’s foresight and decisions,” Bhatti explained, adding that India was surviving because of Nehru’s decisions to keep education, agriculture and industry in the public sector.

If Leaders like Modi with no scientific temperament and belief in superstitions had become the country's first Prime Minister, India would have been lagging behind. The fruits of the foundation laid by Nehru were being enjoyed by all today, Bhatti said.

Speaking about disruptive programmes and actions by BRS and its working president KT Rama Rao (KTR), Bhatti said if he wanted he could say many things about KTR. KTR should first explain where the government failed?

“Is giving jobs to the unemployed, setting up integrated schools, doing good to people's government's failure?,” Bhatti wondered. Whenever they lost power, the BRS leaders resorted to provoking and instigating innocent people for their selfish vested interests.

Bhatti termed opposing the government's decision to expand pharmaceutical clusters as foolish. Congress is against vindictive politics, he said. Questioning if BRS ever played its role as opposition, Bhatti said BRS was desperate to bring down the Congress government.

He made it clear that the integrated household survey was taken up to increase welfare schemes. The Congress party made a promise to people to take up caste census and it was now implementing its promise. The caste census would help a lot in the progress of the State and Telangana would become a role model for the country.

The questionnaire for the survey was prepared keeping all aspects in mind. Caste census is a historical decision, Bhatti asserted.
