‘Does KCR have moral right to speak on Vishakhapatnam steel plant?’ asks Kishan Reddy

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Union Minister for Culture, Tourism And Development Of North Eastern Region, G Kishan Reddy questioned whether Telangana Chief Minister K has any moral right to speak about the Vishakhapatnam steel plant privatisation issue.
While addressing the press conference on Sunday, G Kishan Reddy said, “KCR and his family have been talking a lot about the Vishakhapatnam steel plant in the past week. Singareni collaries are in loss. It is not getting funds from the Telangana government. When PM Modi came to Hyderabad to inaugurate development works in Telangana, the Kalvakuntla family and BRS party organised protests saying that Singareni is being privatised. On one side they are staging protests about privatisation and on another side, they say that they will buy the Vishakhapatnam steel plant”.
“As many industries in Telangana were shut down, the BRS party in its manifesto has promised that in 100 days they will open Nizam sugar factory. Now it has been 9 years, but not a single step has been taken by KCR in this direction. Does KCR have the moral right to speak about the Vishakhapatnam steel plant?” he said.

He further stated the Telangana Government led by KCR has just one aim which is to criticize the central government from morning to evening.
“They have made their main aim to criticise the central government. Telangana people elected KCR for good governance and to fulfil the dreams of the Telangana people. However today, he has left Telangana to the air and the Chief Minister and his family in the name of BRS have made their main agenda to criticise the central government from morning to evening,” he said.
G Kishan Reddy also mentioned that the Telangana government has failed to deliver on the promises they had made in their manifesto during elections over the opening of industries in the state.
“The state government will set up a steel plant in Bayyaram even if the centre does not cooperate. The people are asking today, after 4 years, why are they not setting up the steel plant in Bayyaram? They said they will open many industries that were shut down, but did they open a single factory till today? KCR should answer this. The BRS manifesto also said that it will set up a revolving fund to open the small industries that were shut down. But to date, the revolving fund is still revolving in the air. As many industries belonging to the SC community are in trouble, there is around Rs.837 crores to be given. Many subsidies in the state for SC, ST, and others are not being given. Kalvakuntla family is now stating all other things to divert the people of Telangana from their failures” he said.
He also mentioned that CM KCR has no respect for the Indian constitution.

After 9 years, he (KCR) woke up and came out of his house on Ambedkar Jayanti. On Ambedkar Jayanti, all CMs would come to Tankbund and honour Ambedkar every year. But after becoming Chief Minister, KCR never came to the Ambedkar statue near Tankbund. KCR does not have any respect towards Ambedkar. He even said that the constitution written by Ambedkar is not relevant today and a new constitution should be written. He thinks that the Kalvakuntla constitution or the Nizam constitution should come.
There is a culture that on behalf of the Telangana people, Talambralu are given to the Bhadrachalam temple for Sri Rama Navami. But the Chief Minister today does not follow this culture. KCR hurts the sentiment of all the people. He even hurt the sentiments of Dalit people. He also said that he will make a Dalit as Chief Minister, give 3 acres of land to Dalits and also give Dalit Bandhu. The Dalit bandhu has become BRS Bandhu today. You (KCR) go for iftar parties, it is your wish but you do not come to Bhadrachalam,” he added.
Union Minister G Kishan Reddy also pointed out that in the Indian constitution, there is nowhere it has been mentioned that a Chief Minister and their family cannot be questioned by law enforcement agencies or the judiciary over scam allegations.
He further said, “Today in Delhi, Kejriwal is asking how can a Chief Minister been given notice. Ambedkar has given equal rights to everyone in the Indian Constitution. He did not give one right to Chief Minister for scams and another right to the common people. Whether Chief Minister or anyone else, it is the responsibility of the state police, High court, Supreme court, CBI and ED to enquire when there are allegations.
“The CM’s family should answer if there is anywhere in the Constitution that enquiry should not be done on the Chief Minister or Chief Minister’s family when there are allegations. Here also BRS party has set up a national party today to loot the country as it is not enough for them to loot Telangana. Union Government is not afraid of any of these atrocities,” he added.

KCR should apologise to Dalits, says Telangana BJP chief

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Friday demanded that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao apologise to Dalits for what he called betraying the community.
Sanjay said Chief Minister KCR “failed” to fulfill the promise to make a Dalit the first chief minister of Telangana. He alleged that KCR also went back on his promise to give three acres of land to every Dalit family.
Sanjay alleged that the lands of Dalits were being encroached in the state. He was talking to reporters after paying tributes to Dr B. R. Ambedkar on his birth anniversary at BJP office.

The BJP leader asked didn’t KCR take part in Ambedkar Jayanti and Vardhanthi programmes all these years. “Didn’t KCR insult Babasaheb by asking to rewrite the Constitution,” asked Sanjay.
He said if KCR was sincere about the economic empowerment of Dalits, he should release a white paper on the Dalit Bandhu scheme. He also wanted to know why the BRS government was taking education and medicine away from the poor without providing funds for fee reimbursement and Arogyasri.
On the installation of the 125-feet statue of Ambedkar in Hyderabad, the BJP leader claimed that the statue has seen the light of the day only because BJP raised the issue. He alleged that KCR was only focused on the Secretariat and had stopped work on the statue.
Terming KCR “anti-Dalit”, Sanjay said KCR had no right to unveil the statue of Ambedkar as he had insulted the late leader by not participating in his birth and death anniversary programmes in the past and by demanding to re-write the Indian Constitution.

Hyderabad is a victim of KCR family’s selfishness: Revanth Reddy

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee President Revanth Reddy said that Hyderabad city is a victim of Telangana Chief Minister KCR family’s selfishness.
While addressing the public at Gandhi Bhavan, he said, “KCR family will sacrifice the city of Hyderabad for its selfishness. The city of Hyderabad has been destroyed during the 9 years of BRS rule. Even Nizam did not create such destruction in the city of Hyderabad”.
“For a Rs 100 crore property KCR’s family had paid Rs 17 crores. There are special regulations for construction in Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills areas and also near KBR Park. Since these are elevated places, the airport authority’s permission should be taken for the construction so as not to obstruct the flights. Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills have a special natural environment and they enforce special regulations for building constructions there.KBR Park is considered an Eco-Sensitive Zone. That is why there are very few commercial buildings in the vicinity of KBR Park. Only after KCR came to the construction around the park increased,” he added.

Revanth Reddy further alleged that where 5 storeys are not permitted in the KBR Park area permission was given for a 21-storey building.
“There was a heritage building belonging to the Nizam Nawabs near the BC Study Circle on the way to the Cancer Hospital from KBR Park. The building was bought by Kurra Srinivasa Rao’s firm KS&CS Developers. It is alleged that it was demolished against the rules. Our legislator Sampath Kumar said that when this issue was raised during the debate on the Municipal Act in the Assembly, KCR tried to suppress it. According to the previous rules, 1200 yards of this is a green belt. For the remaining 5800 yards, only 60 thousand square feet should be allowed,” he said.
In 2016, the owner KS&CS Developers applied for the construction of the building. Then the BRS leaders threatened and put pressure and 2704 yards of land was written in the name of Namaste Telangana MD and Chairman Damodar Rao. After the government came for the second time in 2019, Srinivasa Rao’s property was transferred. As a result, permission was given for 21 floors whereas per the old rules, no permission was given for a 5-storey building. How was permission given for 21 floors in 3 thousand yards of land?” he added.
He further mentioned that the construction of high-rise buildings near KBR Park will lead to a dangerous situation for the existence of peacocks in the region.
“If such permissions are given within 3 thousand yards, what is the environmental condition of the park? The 21-storey apartment will cause huge traffic problems near KBR Park. There is also a danger to the existence of the national bird peacocks and other birds in the KBR Park due to the gases coming out from the AC’s used by the people living in that building, and the environment may be damaged there,” he said.

TPCC chief Reddy also said that the word robbery falls flat in front of KCR’s robbery.
“I put a challenge before you. Not Rs 17 crores, if I give Rs 40 crores, will KCR give that land? Isn’t this proof that the lands were written off under threat? The word “robbery” falls flat before KCR’s robbery. A new word should be created in the dictionary for them,” he said.
Reddy further mentioned that BRS leaders have caused enough destruction in the city of Hyderabad.
“Minister KTR and his father will do this much destruction together? If people believe you and put the state in your hands, will you do this much destruction? Traffic in the city is due to issuing permits against the rules in the hope of commissions. Why do floods occur only with little rain? The D9 (Dawood 9) gang including KCR, KTR, Somesh Kumar, Arvind Kumar, Jayesh Ranjan, Venkatrami Reddy is causing so much destruction in Hyderabad city. There is no question of leaving anyone behind. This is the culmination of KCR’s wicked rule,” he said.

India waiting for the right leader, party: KCR

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Claiming that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is receiving huge response in Maharashtra, party president and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao said on Wednesday that the country is waiting for the right leader and the right party.
KCR, as the Chief Minister is popularly known, said the kind of response BRS is getting in Maharashtra is beyond his own expectations.
KCR was addressing a ‘Dawat-e-Iftar’ hosted by the state government at the L.B. Stadium here.

Stating that the country is passing through a difficult phase, the BRS chief said that it is a temporary phase and ultimately truth and justice will prevail.
He said the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) was turned into BRS to make an effort to save the country.
“The country belongs to all, and we have to save it at any cost. We will fight till the last drop of our blood but will not compromise,” KCR told the large gathering.
Calling for safeguarding the composite culture of the country, the BRS leader said, “Nobody can change our traditions and history. Those who try will go but the country will remain.”
KCR, however, stressed the need to act wisely without getting swayed by emotions.

“When I was fighting for Telangana, I knew that ‘Allah ke ghar der hai, andher nahi’,” he said.
Referring to the progress made by Telangana across sectors during the last nine years, KCR said the state has no competition.
He also said the Central government itself has revealed in the Parliament that Telangana has the highest per capita income in the country.
“Our per capita income is higher than that of bigger states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka,” he said.
KCR added that per capita power consumption in the state has doubled in nine years while farmers’ suicides have come to an end, and those who had migrated are now coming back to the state.
He pointed out that while paddy cultivation in the country is happening on 94 lakh acres, Telangana alone accounts for 56.40 lakh acres.
“There is no drinking water and power problem in the state. We are moving ahead, but the country is lagging behind. If the Centre had performed at par with Telangana, our GDP would have been higher by Rs 3-4 lakh crore,” he said.
KCR also said his government spent Rs 12,000 crore on minority welfare in nine years, while during the preceeding 10 years of Congress rule, only Rs 1,180 crore was spent.
Ministers, Muslim leaders from BRS, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, religious scholars and others attended the Iftar party.

My mobile phone is with CM KCR, claims Bandi Sanjay

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: A day after complaining to the police that he lost his mobile, Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Monday alleged that his phone is with Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.
He said that CM KCR was shocked to look at his phone call list as several MLAs of ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) were in touch with him.
Sanjay, who is also Member of Parliament, said KCR was worried that if the call list becomes public he may lose ministers and MLAs to BJP and hence he started demanding him to hand over his phone.

The BJP leader was referring to the direction of Warangal Police Commissioner A. V. Ranganath to give his phone to the police for investigations into 10th class exam paper leak case.
Sanjay was arrested by the police from a relative’s house in Karimnagar on the intervening night of April 4 and 5. He was produced by a magistrate at Hanamkonda on April 5 and was remanded to judicial custody.
However, he was released on bail the next day. Sanjay was named accused number one in the case, in which nine others including a minor were included.
While addressing a press conference on April 5, the Warangal Police Commissioner had said that Bandi Sanjay was refusing to give his mobile phone to police for investigations.
Ranganath said that if Sanjay’s call and chat data are analysed, this will provide evidence that he was in regular touch with one Prashanth, who got the Hindi question paper leaked from an exam centre in Kamlapur on April 4 when the exam was still on. Prashanth had shared the same with many people including Sanjay.

The BJP leader on Sunday lodged a complaint with Karimnagar II Town Police Station that he lost his mobile phone when was detained by the police. He claimed that he had brought this to the notice of police officials who were travelling with him in a van to Bommala Ramaram Police Station of Rachakonda Police Commissionerate.
Meanwhile, the state government has requested the Telangana High Court to cancel the bail of Bandi Sanjay.
During the hearing of a petition filed by the BJP leader challenging the case registered against him, Advocate General B.S. Prasad brought to the court’s notice that Sanjay is not cooperating in the investigation. The court was told Sanjay has not given his mobile phone to police. AG submitted that if the mobile phone data is analysed, it will reveal many details behind the conspiracy.
The court asked the government to file an affidavit and adjourned the hearing to April 21.
In another related development, BJP MLA Eatala Rajender on Monday appeared before Warangal police in response to the summons for questioning. The former minister told reporters that the police officials analysed his mobile phone and found that he did not receive any call from Prashanth.
Rajender also disputed the police claim that it was a paper leak. Stating that the exam began at 9.30 a.m. and the paper came out after 11 a.m., the MLA said it was not a leak but a case of malpractice. He alleged that Chief Minister KCR was trying to implicate them in a false case.

Karnataka poll: KCR eyes 40 Assembly seats with significant Telugu voters

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: In a bid to expand the activities of the BRS in Karnataka and Maharashtra, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has started the work of identifying assembly constituencies dominated by Telugu voters in the two states. After the announcement of the Karnataka Assembly elections, KCR sent teams of leaders to Karnataka and sought a separate report from some experts.
There are reportedly 40 assembly constituencies in 12 districts of Karnataka where Telugu voters have a decisive position. The success of any candidate will depend on their support. After the release of the notification for the Karnataka Assembly elections, KCR has given the responsibility of various areas of Karnataka to ministers, MLAs and MPs and will campaign in favour of JD(S) candidates in these 40 assembly constituencies.
The districts identified are Bellary, Kolar, Bangalore (Rural), Bangalore (Urban), Rachaur, Kapala Tumkur, Chitradurga, Chikalapura, Yadgiri, Bidar and Kalaburagi. These districts have a significant number of Telugu people migrating from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

Most of the sections that influence the elections in Karnataka include Lingayats, Vokkaligas and SC/ST communities, but a significant number of Telugu voters are present in 12 districts. In view of the triangular contest between BJP, Congress and Janata Dal Secular in Karnataka, KCR has decided to support his ally Janta Dal Secular to prevent division of votes. BRS leaders will campaign in favour of Janata Dal-Secular candidates.
The number of assembly seats in Karnataka is 224 and in the 2018 elections, the candidates got the victory on 52 assembly constituencies with a majority of less than 5,000 votes. The state threw up a fractured mandate in 2018 elections with BJP emerging as the single largest party with 104 and the Congress won 87 seats while the JD(S) won 30. It is said that the Janata Dal-Secular’s tally will increase if Telugu voters support it.
The Election Commission announced that single-phase polls wil be held in Karnataka on May 10. The results will be declare 13 May.
