KCR Turned Telangana Into A Poor State, Time To Bid Him Goodbye: JP Nadda
Nadda ridiculed KCR for turning Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) into Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and called his plans for national politics "day-dreaming".
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda on Thursday alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, popularly known as KCR, turned Telangana into a poor and debt-ridden state, and said that the time has come for the people to say goodbye to him.
Addressing a public meeting in Karimnagar to mark the conclusion of the fifth phase of the Praja Sangram Yatra of state BJP President Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Nadda ridiculed KCR for turning Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) into Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and called his plans for national politics "day-dreaming".
"TRS has become BRS. In the days to come, he will take VRS (voluntary retirement scheme)," Nadda said hitting out at KCR.
He also urged the people of the state to put an end to Telangana's "corrupt and ineffective" family rule and expressed confidence in BJP coming to power in the state.
Nadda alleged that the KCR government is neck-deep in corruption. He said that at the macro level, KCR was resorting to looting, while at the micro level, it was the Ministers and MLAs who were indulging in it.
"Eight years ago, Telangana was a surplus state but today it has debt of Rs 3.29 lakh crore. KCR keeps saying Telangana is the richest state. I want to correct him. Telangana was a rich state, you have made it a poor state and a debt state," he said at the rally, according to news agency IANS.
The BJP president asked KCR to explain why his daughter K Kavitha was called for questioning by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the Delhi liquor policy scam case.
He recalled that CM KCR had promised to run Telangana democratically and to make a Dalit the Chief Minister. "Today, he can't see anybody beyond his son, daughter, and son-in-law," he said, alleging that KCR betrayed the people of Telangana and cheated the martyrs.

Nadda said while on one side the government at the Center was working to empower villages, poor, backward people, Dalits, women, and youth, on the other side there was a corrupt government in Telangana that was trying to throttle democracy and pursue anti-people policies.
"This government has no right to remain in power. It has done nothing. "It's time to say goodbye to KCR," he said during the rally.
Nadda alleged that when he was coming for the public meeting, TRS men tried to stop him. He said he wants to remind KCR that people have the power to bury those who resort to repression in the dustbin of history.
The BJP leader said the Praja Sanghram Yatra, which lasted for 114 days and covered 1,458 km through 56 Assembly constituencies was only the beginning.
He told the public meeting that there would be more such yatras and that the party has already given a slogan "enough is enough, goodbye KCR".
