Jubilee Hills by-poll: CM Revanth promises to allot 4000 houses to eligible poor

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has promised to allot 4000 houses to the eligible poor in the Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency soon after the by-election.

CM Revanth made the announcement while addressing a corner meeting in Rahmath Nagar junction, Jubilee Hills, late on Tuesday night. The fight between the ruling Congress and the Opposition is getting tougher by the day.

Welfare benefits

Chief Minister claimed the government has extended welfare scheme benefits, including 14,197 ration cards, 200 units of free electricity to 25,925 families, and 23,311 quintals of fine rice to the poor in the constituency.

Attacks BJP and BRS

He came down heavily on the Union Minister G Kishan Reddy for not accepting the state government’s request to order a CBI probe into the Kaleshwaram project scam. The CM dared the union minister to book a CBI case against former Chief Minister and BRS President K Chandrashekhar Rao and former Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao before November 11.

CM also questioned Kishan Reddy for not approving the arrest of BRS Working President KT Rama Rao in the Formula E race scam. CM Revanth Reddy alleged that BRS and BJP have entered into a ‘secret agreement’.

“It was the BJP that made allegations that Kaleshwaram was an ATM for the KCR family. The union ministers from Telangana also made comments that KCR and Harish Rao will be sent to jail in 48 hours if the case is handed over to the CBI. Now, the union government took a U-turn and did not take any action despite the state government writing a letter to order a CBI investigation,” Revanth Reddy said.

He said that no case has been filed despite seeking permission from the Governor of Telangana, Jishnu Dev Verma, to arrest KTR in the Formula E race case.

“Kishan Reddy is the Union Minister, and Amit Shah is the Home Minister. Why are you not taking action?” he asked.

Revanth Reddy said, “The ‘car’ was morphing into a ‘lotus’ as soon as it reached Delhi. ‘Now, BRS and BJP are one”.

The chief minister said that the BJP was indirectly supporting BRS in the Jubilee Hills by-election, and the BRS will merge with the ruling national party in the coming days. CM Revanth Reddy cited the statement of KCR's daughter, K Kavitha, on the merger of BRS with the BJP recently.

What did you do when Minister of MAUD?

The Chief Minister also took a swipe at KTR for not doing anything for the Jubilee Hills constituency during his tenure as minister of municipal administration and urban development. Now, the BRS leader was shedding crocodile tears by targeting the Congress government, he said.

Respect women

CM Revanth Reddy said that the BRS failed to give women ministerial posts for 10 years while in power. He asserted that Congress is the only party giving due respect to women and minorities.

Elections on November 11

Jubliee Hills seat is being closely watched not only by the Opposition but also by the insiders in the Congress. It is a prestigious issue for CM Revanth Reddy. He has hit the ground zero to woo people and ensure the victory of Congress candidate Naveen Yadav.
