BRS Criticizes Modi Amidst Rising Indignation:

The BRS, filled with anger over Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s recent statements regarding his conversations with Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, launched a scathing attack on Modi and the BJP. Several BRS leaders criticized Modi, and the party’s members used social media platforms to express their displeasure.

Although Party leaders downplayed Modi’s remarks, they seemed genuinely concerned about how his message was being received by their cadre on the ground. The Prime Minister’s statements in Nizamabad appeared to have raised significant concerns within the Party.

Numerous BRS leaders publicly criticized Modi, with the party using cartoons, video clips, and comments on social media to convey their disdain for him. For instance, Rama Rao used Twitter to highlight that in 2018, the BJP had offered support the Party to form the state government, which sparked protests from the BJP. The party also accused the Modi government of privatizing some of the country’s valuable assets on the same platform.

The party used slogans like “While KCR stands for ‘nammakam’ (belief), Modi is for ‘ammakam’ (selling away)” in multiple posts on social media.

Furthermore, the BRS criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for suggesting that Modi’s statements in Nizamabad indicated an alliance between the party and the BJP. The Party questioned Rahul Gandhi’s inconsistency, stating that his hypocrisy was no different from Modi’s falsehoods.

The Andhra Pradesh government eagerly awaits the Terms of Reference (ToR) approved by the Union Cabinet in New Delhi for the Krishna Water Dispute Tribunal-II (KWDT-II).

Prime Minister Modi in Nizamabad: BRS Denied Entry into NDA, Rejects K.T. Rama Rao as Chief Minister

During a public gathering in Nizamabad, Prime Minister Narendra Modi revealed that BRS supremo and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had distanced himself after Modi strongly opposed the idea of an “undemocratic anointment” of K.T. Rama Rao as Chief Minister. Modi also raised concerns about alleged corruption within the Chief Minister’s family and the denial of entry to the party into the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Modi made a striking claim that BRS had utilized its allegedly ill-gotten funds, obtained by exploiting the people of Telangana, to support the Congress party’s victory in Karnataka, As part of a concealed understanding between the two political factions.

He urged the public to give his party a chance to serve for five years and witness the promised change. Modi pledged to uncover any wrongdoing by BRS and hold its corrupt leaders accountable.

Modi then surprised the audience by hinting at a secret he hadn’t revealed before, urging the media to investigate further.

He reminisced about the warm welcome he received from Chandrashekar Rao in the past, who used to greet him with grand garlands at the airport. However, their relationship soured when Modi declined to admit Rao’s party into the NDA and rejected his request for support in the GHMC mayorship election.

Modi also recounted an incident where Chandrashekar Rao sought his blessing to appoint K.T. Rama Rao as Chief Minister. Modi firmly reminded Rao that in a democracy, leaders are elected by the people, not appointed as heirs, which apparently strained their relationship further.

BJP Leaders Raise Objections to KTR’s Remarks About PM Modi

BJP Leaders Raise Objections to KTR’s Remarks About PM Modi:

BJP leaders have strongly criticized Minister K.T Rama Rao’s comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asserting that the minister resorts to such topics to gain media attention. Rama Rao recently referred to PM Modi as a “trickster.”

In response to these remarks, D.K. Aruna, BJP’s national vice president, remarked, “KTR frequently levels allegations against the BJP during his visits to Mahaboobnagar district. The BRS government altered the design of the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS) project and did not even submit the Detailed Project Report (DPR) until six months ago. The project, originally intended to draw water from Jurala, was shifted to Srisailam. PRLIS does not have a guaranteed water allocation. K Chandrashekar Rao accepted the allocation formula of 299 TMC of water for Telangana out of the 811 TMC available in the Krishna river.”

Aruna emphasized that there is an ample water supply at Jurala, which the state can access without interruption or permissions, unlike Srisailam, which both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have claims to. However, Telangana has not fully utilized the 299 TMC of water allocated to the region by completing necessary projects. Aruna also accused the BRS of favoring high-cost projects to secure commissions. She noted that the government has failed to compensate farmers for their acquired land, and canals for water distribution to fields have not been dug.

Regarding project negligence, she pointed out, “KCR, who previously touted the Rajolibanda diversion scheme with the capacity to irrigate 87,000 acres in Alampur assembly constituency with an expenditure of just Rs 796 crores, has neglected it. The project with a capacity of 15.9 TMC has been pending for nine years without budget allocation. It seems he intends to spend money to secure electoral victories.”

BJP’s state general secretary, Gujjula Premender Reddy, alleged that the BRS leaders lacked a clear agenda and criticized the state government for not adhering to the necessary norms to grant national status to the PRLIS project. He highlighted that the central government has provided loans at concessional interest rates and granted permissions, emphasizing that such comments are made for electoral purposes.

Reddy also noted that the central government has allocated Rs. 9 lakh crores to the Telangana State government thus far. He pointed out that the state government’s budget allocation for development projects is only Rs. 50,000 crores to Rs. 60,000 crores annually, with the remainder being utilized for salaries and other expenses. Reddy stressed the need for a double-engine government in Telangana and expressed the belief that the BRS is on the brink of defeat.
