New Delhi, Oct.26 ( PMI): TPCC president Revanth Reddy today demanded that the payment disbursals of welfare schemes like BC Bandhu, Grulahakshmi and Rythu Bandhu implemented by the Telangana government should be released by November 2. He said this is a specific demand made by the Congress party. If CM KCR postpones the payments, he assured that the Congress will pay on returning to power. One will get Rs 10,000 from Rythu Bandhu if taken now and whereas Congress has promised to give Rs 15,000 when it comes to power. He said the Congress will pay pension of Rs 4000 on coming to power while the pension disbursed now is only Rs 2000.
Revanth Reddy spoke to the media along with Congress leaders Uttam Kumar Reddy, Bhatti Vikramarka and Komatireddy Venkat Reddy at the AICC office in Delhi on Thursday. He said they asked the EC to take steps to complete the transfer of money before the notification of the elections. But the BRS was spreading propaganda against Congress that it was trying to stop the welfare schemes, he added.
Revanth Reddy said CM KCR was trying to stop payments by portraying the Congress party as a demon. He said they are not saying to stop the welfare schemes, but the Congress party was demanding that the beneficiaries of various schemes should be paid before November 2. He said no one can save BRS from defeat even if they spread false propaganda against Congress.
Revanth Reddy stated that they complained to the EC to transfer the officials, who were working like BRS party workers. He said the retired officers were given posts and are being used to attack the Opposition and we asked the EC to remove such people from the posts. He also asked not to entrust the election duties to the officials, who are supporting the BRS. It has been requested to appoint officers, who act impartially. He said the officials are working like Razakars under KCR.
Revanth Reddy fumed that the government was trying to escape by bringing to the fore the conspiracy element to the collapse of the pillars of the Medigadda project. He said there are coal deposits under the project and there is lack of quality in the construction of the project and that precautions like soil test were not followed.
Revanth Reddy challenged CM KCR to contest from Kodangal. He said he was ready to contest from Kamareddy if KCR does not come to contest in Kodangal. He said if the party instructs, either Bhatti Vikramarka or he himself are ready to contest against KCR in Kamareddy and against KTR in Sircilla. Revanth Reddy said people never gave chance to hung assembly in previous united AP. He said Congress will wrest power with 2/3 majority. He also said there is no way of going with MIM. BRS, BJP and MIM. BJP and BRS will contest parliamentary elections together. He hoped that the Congress government will be formed in Telangana on December 9.
Revanth Reddy said their further action will depend on the actions taken by the authorities. He said the ED and CB go first to the States where elections are held. Raj Gopal Reddy, DK Aruna, Vijayashanthi and Vishveshwar Reddy have made it clear that they did not join BJP by having belief in their principles. He said his party will give priority to those who join the Congress. (Press media of india)
