Congress Is Only Hoodwinking People With False Promises: Kishan Reddy

Hyderabad: State BJP president and Union minister G. Kishan Reddy accused the Congress government of cheating people with tall promises. He said that the Revanth Reddy government had not given MSP for a single crop and has not extended farm loan waiver to 16, 41, 428 farmers, besides failing miserably to implement other guarantees and 420 assurances.

Addressing a press conference here on Monday, Reddy charged that the Congress came to power with tall promises in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh and Telangana, and had failed to implement poll promises. The Revanth Reddy government had announced that `33,280 crore was required to waive farm loans but it released just `17,000 crore towards farm loan waiver, he said, He dared the government to submit a list mentioning that all eligible farmers have benefited from the farm loan waiver scheme and submit it to a sitting High Court judge.

Stating that the Congress had failed on all fronts, Kishan Reddy said that the tenant farmers failed to get `15,000 per head, nor was `12,000 given to farm labour and `2,500 financial assistance to women, among other such shallow promises. The Congress came to power by unleashing false information about reservations during the Assembly elections. Like KCR who cheated dalits by promising dalit bandhu, the Congress is cheating backward classes and tribals with his tall promises, he said.

Non-payment of dues has landed transco and genco in a severe financial crisis, Reddy said.
