Accusing that BRS chief and former chief minister K Chandrasaekhar Rao in Telangana and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in India tapped phones of political opponents, Congress former chief Rahul Gandhi warned that truth will come out soon.
Addressing a Congress election rally Jana Jatara Sabha in Thukkuguda near Hyderabad, he alleged “Like how your former CM (KCR) resorted to phone tapping in Telangana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tapped phones in India.”
He accused Rao of misusing police and intelligence systems as Chief Minister. He alleged that thousands of phones were tapped and the BRS regime resorted to destruction of data pertaining to the snooping operation immediately after the change in government in December.
He said that the Congress government in Telangana has initiated an inquiry into the phone tapping issue and the truth will come out soon. He accused that KCR had shattered the dreams of the people with his misrule for 10 years.
“The People of Telangana dreamt of statehood with a hope that they will get justice. The Congress has fulfilled this dream. But Chandrashekar Rao has shattered their dreams with his misgovernance,” Gandhi said.
In a scathing attack against the BJP-led Central government, former AICC president alleged that the electoral bonds scheme was the “world’s biggest scam” and claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had appointed “his people” in the Election Commission. He said under the BJP regime, the Enforcement Directorate had become an ‘extortion directorate’.
Rahul Gandhi alleged that nearly 30 farmers were committing suicides in India every day. The Modi government waived loans to the tune of Rs 16 lakh crore of the rich, while he did not waive off even a single rupee of farmers’ loans. He also alleged that after Modi’s government assumed office, crores of people became poor in the country.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy said KCR is destined to go to Charlapalli jail. The government will construct a double bed room house for him on the jail premises so that his entire family can be in jail, he said.
