Modi targets BRS, people don’t want corrupt govt

Mahabubngar: In scathing attack, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government, on Sunday accused the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) government for making black money out of schemes meant for the farmers’ shemes and pperpetrating corruption in the irrigation projects.

Addressing an impressive rally, which is called as “Palamuru Praja Garjana” here as part of his party’s kick-start of election campaign, Modi took a swipe at the KCR-headed government by saying that only in Telangana, irrigation projects get inaugurated but water is not delivered to the farmers.

He was referring to the wet-run of the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS) done by Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on September 16.

“The people of Telangana don’t want a corrupt government. They want an honest government which doesn’t give false assurances, but one which implements those promises on the ground,” he said.

He said that “the progress of Telangana has been stalled by two parties (BRS and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen), whose identity is corruption and commission, running their parties with the formula of party of the family, by the family and to the family”

Without naming the BRS explicitly, PM Modi said that the two parties were made private limited companies, with the family members of the ruling family being the president, CEO, director, treasurer, general manager, shift manager and the manager, using outsiders only as the support staff.

“Any decision of that party doesn’t happen without the notice of the family. But the BJP’s entire focus is on how to give your families a better life full of opportunities,” PM Modi said.

He also said that the tribal university would have been established in Telangana by now, if not for the five-year-long delay done by the State government in acquiring land for the purpose.

Modi asserted that the women, youth and farmers trust the guarantees given by him, and that he has been delivering them.

The Prime Minister had entered the public meeting arena in an open-top SUV, with BJYM workers showering flowers on him.
