On Thursday, Congress campaign committee chairman Madhu Yaskhi criticised that the Chief Minister KCR sleeps in Delhi but does not meet the Prime Minister. He said TRS leaders and ministers were shamelessly blocking national highways to protest rising prices and causing trouble to people and commuters.
He condemned the arrests of Congress leaders who were protesting to reduce electricity tariffs. Has K Chandrasekhar Rao reduced the VAT levied by the state government on fuel prices in the years since he came to power? He questioned.
