Probably because of catching up the 2023 General Election Fever, Minister KTR has apparently started to blow his own trumpet not by criticizing his opponents but by belittling the neighboring state. This unexpected poking of nose into neighboring state affairs when there is nothing to benefit from, raised a few eyebrows.
Besides, there is no political rivalry between YSRCP and TRS as the former has no presence in Telangana State and the latter has no role to play in Andhra Pradesh.
KTR said that one of his friends from the neighboring state having businesses in Hyderabad had gone to his state for Sankranti festival recently and shared his bad experiences with him.
KTR said- "He told me there is no proper power supply and water supply. The roads are badly damaged. He said he could not stay there even for three days and heaved a sigh of relief after coming to Hyderabad. Hyderabad is the best city. Industrialization has been going on rapidly in Telangana. The management of roads is the best and there are no power problems. There is virtually no corruption in any department".
Telangana means not just the posh areas of Hyderabad Mr KTR! There are many areas within your GHMC limits where the roads are miserable and the lakes are inundating the people around during every rainy season. Your government announces the release of funds to correct the flow of flood water, but that never happens. It is sure to face a heavy blow if the rainy season before the general election troubles the citizens of Hyderabad.
First you try to clean the black under you. Then you may talk about others though irrelevant.
- Your government which boasts of richness and development laments that it has no money in the treasury to give Asara pensions and salaries.
- You didn't pay the dues to your employees of Electricity Department.
- You say that you have no money to continue welfare schemes.
- You didn't even pay the salaries to the teachers in 19 districts.
- Your father always puts a poor man's face and says 'Khajana Khaali'.
- You have grabbed thousands of crores of rupees from the pockets of common man in the name of Land Regularization Scheme. You didn't stop this menace until the Court stopped you.
- You claim there is no corruption. But do you have the guts to accept the fact how your MLAs are doing land kabjas. The Patancheru MLA Mahipal Reddy himself has been facing an allegation of Rs 10,000 Cr land grab from common people. Search in google with the related key words to find the news.
First you go to Andhra Pradesh to see the reality. Learn how the state is functioning. Telangana is yet to pay Rs 6285 Cr dues related to electricity as per the agreement during bifurcation. Clear that due with interest.
Your Hyderabad itself used to earn Rs 60000 Cr by the time of bifurcation. In spite of that you say that you don't have Rs 880 Cr to distribute Asara Pensions.
Your state is behind Andhra Pradesh in many parameters of development and welfare.
AP has won 6th place in the state in inclusive development as on Nov 25, 2021 India Today Survey.
AP stood 3rd in collecting GST with 18% increase, after Maharashtra. The state has also moved up from 7th to 4th rank in exports.
Don't believe in the Andhra settlers in Kompally to Kukatpally who love to talk bad about YSRCP. Test their blood and it looks yellow but not red. Be mindful while listening to the people around and be thoughtful before delivering your speech.
