HYDERABAD: The BJP will not let go of the BRS government’s failures to build and distribute houses for the poor, Union minister and party state unit president G. Kishan Reddy declared on Saturday. He accused the BRS leaders of demanding 30 per cent kickbacks.
He said, “The BRS runs a 30 per cent government. Its leaders take a 30 per cent cut in every scheme as in every Dalit Bandhu beneficiary paying Rs 3 lakh to the local party leaders. Anyone who wants to start something must pay up this amount to the BRS leadership. And the time has come for this 30 per cent government to be thrown out.”
Kishan Reddy said that the party would hold protests at the mandal level on August 18, followed by protests at the district collectorates on August 23 and 24. “A protest meeting will be held in Hyderabad on September 4 that will come as an eyeopener to KCR,” Kishan Reddy said.
“Now that KCR failed in giving two bedroom houses, he started a new drama of giving Rs 3 lakh to families that have a piece of land to build their houses. This too is yet another scheme to cheat people,” Kishan Reddy said.
“It is not just on the housing front. The BRS government has been a total failure on education and health fronts. Telangana, which was formed on the martyrdom of 1,200 people, is now the prisoner of the Kalvakuntla family. There is corruption everywhere, be it the various projects, schemes. And they pushed Telangana into deep debt of around Rs 7 lakh crore,” he said.
He said the BRS government followed the ideals of the Nizam, was friends with descendants of Razakars, and such a government needed to be taught a lesson.
As long as Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao and the Kalvakuntla government were in place, the poor would not get houses, or anything else. People have tried Congress in the past and now the BRS, he said. “Give the BJP a chance and our party will provide a good, responsive and responsible government under the guidance and overall leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A government without corruption and one that will work only for the people and not for a family or party leaders.”
Kishan Reddy was leading the BJP’s maha dharna at Indira Park on the issue of two bedroom houses. He was accompanied by senior state party leaders, including Huzurabad MLA Etala Rajendar, Nizamabad MP Dharmapuri Arvind, former legislators N.V.S.S. Prabhakar, Ch Ramachandra Reddy, N. Ramchander Rao.
