Khammam: State BJP president and Union minister G. Kishan Reddy on Thursday alleged that the Congress government has failed to fulfil its poll promises, especially those pertaining to youth, the unemployed and farmers.
Speaking to the media at Khammam, Reddy said that the Congress had made unrealistic promises in its elections manifesto only to get votes in the legislative Assembly elections. Now, the Congress government has been dilly-dallying and trying to divert attention from their faults and failures. In the run up to the Assembly elections, A. Revanth Reddy asked the farmers to get crop loans from banks and his party would waive crop loans up to `two lakh immediately after coming to power. Believing him and his words, farmers took crop loans. They are not able to repay them while the Congress government is yet to fulfil its crop loan waiver promise, he said.
Reminding that the kharif crop season would begin in July, he said that farmers were struggling to get investments for the crop season as banks are not sanctioning new loans because the old ones remain pending.
The Union minister pointed out that the Congress government has not issued recruitment notifications for filling up vacant posts nor had it paid any unemployment incentive of `4,000 per month to the jobless,
He said that BRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao remained silent when told that 27 MLAs of the opposition party would join Congress. He recalled that it was Rao who encouraged defections.
The BRS has no moral right to seek votes in the by-elections to Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda graduates MLC constituency.
He asked graduate voters to cast their vote for BJP candidate G. Premender Reddy to be assured of a voice on their behalf in the legislative council.
Meanwhile, Kishan Reddy visited IKP paddy procurement centres at Raghavapuram in Bibinagar mandal and interacted with farmers. Some of them complained that they were visiting the IKP centre for the last 30 days to sell their paddy. They said that their paddy was discoloured after getting soaked in the rain.
