TRS faults BJP Lakshman’s jibe

TRS leader Karne Prabhakar today lashed out at new chief of Telangana BJP Dr K Lakshman for his comments against the State government.

Addressing the media here on Saturday, Prabhakar accused the BJP leader of failing to impress upon the Centre for Telangana growth and development. “Lakshman should know facts before going to make derogatory remarks that the State government had failed in many sectors. Telanangana State surpassed all other States in the country in terms of achieving remarkable growth in many sectors”, he said. But the BJP and other Opposition parties were making a hue and cry for political mileage.

The TRS government’s schemes are getting pat from the Centre and other States, he said. Except KG-to-PG scheme the TRS implemented all the manifesto promises and many other new schemes were launched successfully without any prior assurance, he claimed. Though the BJP was ruling at the Centre, the State BJP leaders could not fetch adequate funds for various welfare schemes and development programs in the State. He sought to know why the State BJP abstained from pressing the Centre to give tax exemption to the new State of Telangana like it offered to Himachal Pradesh.

Though State Government has been asking for setting up of a Steel Factory at Bayyaram in Khammam district, the Centre was ignoring it and the State BJP leaders maintaining silence on it, he alleged. Even the Centre was not reacting to our demand for according national status to Pranahitha-Chevella project, he lashed out. Prabhakar said the TRS will clinch Palair bye-poll in Khammam district. The Opposition parties have already prepared for a debacle as the people are with the ruling party, he said. Prabhakar also said the BJP, Congress and Telugu Desam have to make a vain bid in this poll as there was no scope of even securing their deposits, the TRS leader said. (NSS)
