Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s (BRS) Working President K.T. Rama Rao criticized Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi for her political rally on youth issues in Telangana.
He termed her a "political tourist" and demanded an apology from her for Congress' delay in the formation of Telangana which resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives during the statehood movement.
KTR accused Congress of exploiting youth and employment issues for their politics and asserted that the country would not have experienced an unemployment crisis if the parties worked like BRS. He cited the example of the Telangana government which provided employment to 2.2 lakh youth in the government and 22 lakh youth in the private sector.
In response to Priyanka Gandhi's upcoming visit to Telangana, KTR suggested that she turn her political tour into an educational tour and witness the growth of Telangana. He highlighted the failures during Congress rule and suggested that she learn from the inclusive and holistic developmental activities and policies of Telangana and implement them in Congress-ruled states.
In addition, KTR said that the people of Telangana are wise and will secure their future by electing KCR, who achieved the formation of the State, and that the political tourist Priyanka Gandhi will realize this while on the tour.
Priyanka Gandhi set to address rally in Telangana
Priyanka Gandhi is scheduled to address a public meeting at Saroornagar Stadium in Telangana on Monday. The Congress party is making arrangements to mobilize a large crowd, mainly comprising youth and students, for the event. This marks her first visit to the state.
Priyanka's program will be brief, with a speech of no more than half an hour before returning to Delhi via a special flight from Begumpet Airport. Upon arrival, she will pay homage to Telangana martyr Srikantha Chary at his memorial in L.B. Nagar before walking to the stadium.
During her speech, Priyanka Gandhi is expected to announce the 'Unemployment Declaration,' outlining the Congress party's plan to address the issue of unemployment in Telangana once they come to power.
