Modi engaged in polarization to hide failures: KCR

News, Telangana News

Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is resorting to polarization to hide his failures and divert public attention from real issues. KCR said an alternative people’s agenda will be unveiled after taking consultations with economists, intellectuals and retired All India Service officers.

Speaking at the conclusion address at the day- long plenary of TRS on Wednesday at HICC in Hyderabad, he announced that he will come up with an alternative agenda for the country. He warned the Prime Minister that he would not be allowed to continue his games to gain political mileage by spreading hate among people.

Amid cheers by 3K delegates, KCR said he would work as a soldier to set a new agenda for the nation. He dared Modi to show one sector where some progress was made during the last eight years of his rule. Nothing has happened. The GDP has crashed, the economy is not doing well, inflation has gone up and the prices are rising. There are only failures but to show that something is happening, there are speeches and lies, he said.

He said that the BJP trying to polarize the people to divert attention from real issues and the hate was being spread to take political mileage. KCR slammed Modi for asking states to slash taxes on fuel when it is his Government which increased the taxes. One should at least have some shame. How can you ask states to reduce? Is this how a Prime Minister should speak, he asked.

After the formation of Telangana, the state government has not increased the taxes on fuel except rounding off the price once. If you really love people, why did you increase the cess on fuel? With what face are you asking states to cut taxes. He asked and alleged that Modi wants a strong Centre and weak states.

The country has water but farmers don’t get water. It has electricity but rulers are unable to supply it to people. Basic needs like drinking water, electricity, education and health are not being taken care of which shows there are big loopholes in our thinking, policy making and implementation, he said.

He also hinted that the TRS, with assets of Rs 1,000 crore, has no dearth of financial resources to play its role in national politics and claimed that some people have already come forward to make donations. We have 60 lakh disciplined workers who can contribute anything from Rs 10 to Rs 1 crore. If I give a call that we are going to influence the national politics, they all will come forward. If everyone gives Rs 1,000, we can have Rs 600 crore, he said.

He slammed the outfits which say Hindus are in danger. The President is Hindu, the Prime Minister is Hindu and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is a Hindu. Almost all the Chief Ministers are Hindus. How Hindus can be in danger, he asked.
