Why did KCR visit Delhi?

"CM KCR is worried about what will happen to his real estate business after drowning Yadadri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy," he said.

Alleging there is no specific schedule for KCR's visit to Delhi nor is any protocol being followed, he demanded the CM tell people why he went to Delhi.

Bandi Sanjay expressed concern over IIIT Basara students who are protesting demanding better food. "If KCR is an honest CM, he should go to IIIT and talk to the students. They say they are finding insects in rice in gurukula schools. Will KCR's grandson eat the same rice?" he questioned.

"KCR who has done nothing in Telangana says he will change the political equations of Delhi. Farmers' loans were not waived. How many Dalits got land?" he further asked.

The state BJP chief alleged that KCR has overwhelmed the farmers and none of the promises of developing Vasalamarri village have been implemented. If the BJP comes to power, it will provide free education and medical care in the first phase, and in the second phase, it will implement the Fasal Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana schemes, he promised.

He said the third phase of the padayatra is being done to create awareness and tell people about the diversion of Central funds.

"If the Kaleshwaram project was given national status, the entire country would have condemned the BJP now. Why are they asking for national status for the Kaleshwaram project?" he questioned.

Bandi Sanjay blamed KCR for the state's Rs. 4 lakh crores debt. He promised that once the BJP comes to power, it will abolish the "Kalvakuntla Constitution" and implement "Baba Saheb Ambedkar's Constitution."

Corruption at every level

Speaking at the public meeting, Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said there is corruption at every level in Telangana. Stating that the end of KCR family rule is near, he accused the CM of supporting corruption and family parties only in the Presidential election.

TS govt abuses power: Kishan Reddy

Union tourism minister Kishan Reddy said they will not leave KCR's family alone and will question them at every step. "Change will come in a year. While the existing throne is the state will soon collapse, KCR is thinking about who will ascend the throne in Delhi," said Mr. Kishan Reddy. He added, "If there is any government that abuses power, it is the Telangana government. KCR sarkar is not a government of deeds but words."

He said there are many CMs in the country and all of them meet the people except for Telangana CM.
