Man who cannot rule his state is dreaming of ruling India: Bandi Sanjay on KCR

Hyderabad: Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party president Bandi Sanjay on Tuesday took shots at Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao's announcement that he will ensure free power supply to farmers all over the country if a non-BJP government is formed at the Centre after the 2024 general elections.

Referring to a saying, Bandi Sanjay said, "It is like a man who cannot feed his own mother, promising to buy gold bangles for his aunt. It is ridiculous that the chief minister who has pushed the power distribution companies (Discoms) in the state into huge losses to the tune of Rs. 70,000 crores is promising free power supply to farmers across the country."

Bandi Sanjay was speaking to media persons at the state BJP headquarters.

"In order to divert the attention of the people from these scams, KCR is going from town to town holding public meetings and boasting of going into national politics. The man who cannot rule his own state properly is dreaming of ruling the country," he said.

Stating that there are no takers for KCR's "BJP-Mukt Bharat" slogan, Sanjay reminded that even Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar did not take the TRS chief seriously and walked out of his press conference.

He should fulfil all the promises made to the people of Telangana first before contemplating going to national politics. "He should give an explanation to the people why he increased the power tariff and RTC bus fares. Only then, he can talk about national politics. We don't care even if he takes to international politics," he said.

The BJP leader alleged that KCR was trying to fix electricity meters to agriculture pumps and then blaming the Narendra Modi government. "In the name of free power supply to farmers, the KCR government has abnormally increased power tariff for domestic consumers," he alleged.

Ridiculing KCR's farmers' agenda, the BJP state president said it was nothing but a high drama to cheat the farmers. "The farmers' representatives do not believe him. He has sent special flights to bring a few farmers' association leaders and tried to brainwash them. Let him take them to the evacuees of Mallannasagar and the badly damaged Kaleshwaram pump house. He will get thoroughly exposed," said Bandi Sanjay.

He expressed confidence that the BJP will win the by-election in Munugode hands down as was disclosed by various surveys. "The people of Munugode will not believe the theatrics of KCR," he said.

Family planning surgery

On the death of four women due to botched sterilisation surgeries at Ibrahimpatnam community health centre, Sanjay said never in the past had the state witnessed such a gory incident. He found fault with the appointment of the health director as the inquiry officer.

"It is like giving the house keys to the thief. The health director has been facing severe allegations of corruption and malpractices in postings, promotions, and deputations. He is being protected because he regularly shares the booty with the chief minister and health minister," he alleged.

He said it was unfortunate that neither the health minister nor the health director bothered to call on the families of the victims. They thought they could get away by paying ex gratia of Rs. 5 lakh each to the victim's families, added Bandi Sanjay.

Later, addressing the BJP SC Morcha state secretaries meeting, he said the Munugode by-election would be the stepping stone for the party's victory in the next Assembly elections. "Wherever we go, there is talk that the BJP is the only party that can pull down the TRS government. We need to struggle hard to make this talk a reality," he said.

Stating that the SC Morcha would play a major role in the BJP's victory in the next elections in Telangana, he pointed out that the BJP had given utmost importance to the emancipation of Dalits in the country by implementing various welfare schemes.
