Telangana polls: Only BRS can protect Telangana, says CM KCR at election rally
BRS supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday said his party will protect the state like the armour of Karna. Speaking at a rally here in the run-up to the November 30 Assembly elections, the Telangana Chief Minister KCR, seeking votes for his party's candidate, said the state has been progressing and became number one in several parameters such as per capita income and power.
Taking a dig at Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, KCR said he is talking in Telangana about Siddaramaiah-led government's five hours of free power to farmers where BRS government offers 24 hours free power to peasants.
«BRS protects Telangana like the legendary Karna's Kavach (from the Mahabharat). BRS was born for Telangana state, its development and to protect Telangana people and their rights,» he said.
«Congress leaders never thought of irrigation projects that would benefit Telangana people,» KCR hit out, referring to the Nagarjuna Sagar irrigation project.
Narrating the promises in the BRS manifesto, Rao said amounts for social pensions and Rythu Bandhu will be increased in a phased manner.
Rao said Telangana which used to witness drought and migrations, has been witnessing development owing to peace and tranquility.
«Telangana is number one in per capita income and per capita power consumption.
