Deputy CLP leader in Telangana Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir on Thursday accused Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao of acting like the Brand Ambassador of Singapore.
"Although Singapore is a developed nation and deserves full praise for its economic growth, its model cannot be implemented in Telangana due to various factors. Singapore is the world's most expensive city to live in and the cost of living in Singapore is 260 per cent higher compared to India. Therefore, its model cannot be emulated,” he said.
The Congress MLC said that Singapore is also the world's third largest casino gambling market after Macau and Las Vegas.
"May be KCR wants Telangana to become the gambling hub of India," he said.
He said KCR should stop acting as the Brand Ambassador of Singapore and concentrate on the development of Telangana.
“He should dedicate his time and energies on fulfilling the promises that he made with the people during elections. Instead of confusing the people with illusional talk, KCR should adopt a realistic approach to solve the problems being faced by farmers, unemployed youth, women and other weaker sections of the society," Shabbir Ali said.
