Karimnagar, Dec 16 (Representative) Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Thursday alleged that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR)are hand in glove with each other in trying to gain political mileage by triggering regional sentiments again. Addressing a massive public meeting organised on the conclusion of his fifth phase of Praja Sangrama Yatra here, Sanjay accused KCR of colluding with his Andhra counterpart CM to loot the Telugu states forever by whipping up regional sentiments in their respective states. He said the ruling YSR Congress party in Andhra Pradesh had deliberately raked up the issue of merger of Telugu states only to trigger Andhra sentiment in its state, while KCR would kick up the Telangana sentiment all over again to garner votes in the next elections. The both CMs have a common objective of looting the people and stashing the commissions,” he alleged. Sanjay said the Telangana chief minister who had spent eight years in his farmhouse had come out suddenly in the name of national politics and renamed his TRS as Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and started abusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, only because he was scared of growing popularity of the BJP.
“He (KCR) wound up TRS in Telangana and opened the BRS shop in New Delhi now. What is BRS? It is nothing but Bandipotla Rashtra Samithi or Bar and Restaurant Samithi,” he said. The BJP state president said by renaming the party as BRS, the chief minister had lost his connection with Telangana. “Now, people of the state can get rid of Telangana, as he has betrayed Mother Telangana,” he said. Recalling the public rally held by KCR in 2001 in the name of “Simha Garjana” at the same venue in Karimnagar, Sanjay wondered what KCR had done to Telangana after its formation. Not a single section of the society is happy with KCR, as he failed to completely fulfil any of his promises, he said. “He (KCR) could not deliver his promise of constructing double bedroom houses for all the eligible families nor did he fulfil his promise of filling up job vacancies. Power tariff has gone up steeply. The education sector has collapsed due to lack of basic facilities and faculty. Employees are not able to get salaries on time. The state has plunged into a debt trap with over Rs 5 lakh crore borrowings,” he said. Sanjay alleged that after looting crores of rupees through settlements and land encroachments, the family of KCR was now trying to loot the country in the name of BRS.“Take any scam, whether it is of liquor, sand, granite and drugs, the BRS leaders are involved in every scam,” he said. He also accused the Telangana government of not cooperating with the Centre in implementing welfare and developmental schemes by refusing to provide matching grant. “Whatever development the state has witnessed so far was only because of the assistance from the Centre,” he reminded.
