Terming Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi as a Political Tourist, Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s (BRS) Working President and Minister K.T. Rama Rao said that politicians who are unemployed are provoking the youth of Telangana. He said that the parties which did not work for the welfare of people while in power are now preaching the State governments like Telangana which consistently ranked high in performance. Responding to Priyanka Gandhi’s Telangana visit for a political rally on youth issues, the BRS Working President reminded the decades long history of failures of Congress Party.
KTR criticized Congress for exploiting youth, and employment issues solely for its politics. He said that the country would not have experienced an unemployment crisis if Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced employment policy and worked like BRS. The Minister said that the Telangana government under the leadership of Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao provided employment to 2.2 lakh youth in the government and 22 lakh youth in the private sector.
He demanded Priyanka Gandhi to apologize on behalf of Congress party for taking the lives of hundreds of Telangana youth during the separate Telangana movement, by delaying the formation of the State for their political gains. KTR said that even the current Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee’s (TPCC) president Revanth Reddy termed Sonia Gandhi as the culprit (balidevatha) behind all the suicides.
The Minister said that Hyderabad is a global city which welcomes lakhs of tourists everyday and it also welcomes political tourists like Priyanka Gandhi. He termed the Congress as a sinking ship and suggested Priyanka Gandhi to turn her political tour into an educational tour. He asked her to witness the growth of Telangana and learn by seeing the world class roads, flyovers, cable bridge and offices of the top MNCs in Hyderabad. KTR suggested to her to ask fellow congressmen what people like superstar Rajinikanth spoke about Hyderabad. He invited her to understand local conditions and learn from what she sees here.
