Nizamabad (Telangana): Lashing out at Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and his family, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today said that KCR had kept all the “money minting ministries” within his family. He also said, after defeating KCR in Telangana, Congress party will defeat and remove Modi from Delhi.
Addressing a massive public rally here today, he also told KCR in reply to his question as to what the Congress had done, that the state he was Chief Minister of was made by the Congress party only. Besides, he added, the schools and universities KCR has studied in to become the Chief Minister were also made by the Congress party.
Accusing KCR and his family of massive corruption, he pointed out how Rs one lakh crores was stolen from the people of Telangana state in Kaleshwaram project. He said, the pillars in the dam have already started developing cracks. He said KCR had stolen the money of the people of Telangana.
The Congress leader also criticised KCR for taking away the land of about 20 lakh people that had been given to them by the Congress. He said the land was taken on the pretext of computerisation and setting up of the ‘Dharni’ portal only to cheat them.
