Addressing the “Naari Shakti Vandan Mahila Sammelan” programme held at the Dubbaka Assembly constituency, the BJP leader claimed that “Any vote for the Congress is a vote for the Bharat Rashtra Samthi (BRS), as the elected Congress MLAs will eventually migrate to BRS after elections.”
Congress and corruption are two sides of the same coin, the minister said. She, then urged the people that “Just like we (BJP) chased away Rahul Gandhi from Amethi in UP and then from Wayanad in Kerala, you have to drive away BRS from Telangana.”
Ms Irani criticised K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) – led BRS Government for their failure in meeting the expectations of the people promised under ‘Neellu, Nidhulu, and Niyamakalu’ (Water, funds, and jobs) pact and deceiving them. “In the Kaleshwaram project, the KCR Government pumped costs from Rs 40,000 crore to Rs 1 lakh crore but failed to irrigate even 60 per cent of the projected land,” Minister said.
She, then, raised questions about the unemployment in the state: “While the service commission failed in recruiting the unemployed, all the family members of KCR are employed,” Ms Irani indicated.
