Telangana state BJP President N Ramchander Rao termed “ Delhi protests” by the Congress party as a “ drama” enacted to deceive BC community in Telangana on the issue of 42 per cent Reservations. Speaking to media persons at Ramagudam, he lamented it as a “ drama” in which Rahul Gandhi is a director and participants are actors.
Rao alleged that reservations for BCs would be reduced to only 32 per cent if Revanth Reddy government cut down and provide 10 per cent reservations to muslims. Reminding that it was Congress party which has made Kamareddy BC declaration and introduced a BC reservation bill in the assembly, then he wondered that why Congress government is not able to implement it in Telangana.
He recalled that Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was also present during Kamareddy BC declaration. He advised Revanth Reddy to ask his counterpart about implementation of BC reservations in Karnataka instead of going to Delhi to make a drama. He accused the state government of blaming centre on the issue of BC reservations when it is not able to implement it.
Rao said that all 8 BJP MLAs had extended unconditional support to the bill in the assembly as the government has not mentioned about muslims reservations in the bill. He recalled that earlier, Dr Rajasekhar Reddy government had provided 4 per cent reservation to muslims in education and jobs and no mention of political reservations.
However, he said that this 4 per cent reservation issue is also pending in the court. But, he accused that both Congress and BRS parties have adopted appeasement policy and provided reservation in politics as a result in GHMC elections muslims got 35 out of 50 councillors seats depriving genuine BC leaders from contesting elections.
Meanwhile, demanding a CBI inquiry into corruption of Kaleshwaram project, Rao advocated for construction of a separate project at Tummadihatti to meet needs of irrigation water in this region. He said there was a strong demand of irrigation water in this region after realignment of Pranahita-Chevella project and there was a need of a separate project to provide water to about 2.5 lakh acres.
He asked the state Congress government to prepare a DPR for the project and sent to central government for approval and assured that the central government is providing all kinds of assistance as soon as DPR is submitted.
