KCR-led government “corrupt and useless”: Union Home Minister Amit Shah

As the state is heading for elections next year, political parties have already started to aim attacks on each other. Union Home Minister Amit Shah took a dig at Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and mocked him saying he doesn't go to the state secretariat because some Tantrik (occultist) has forecasted that he would lose the upcoming elections if he goes.

Amit Shah, while addressing a public meeting on the concluding day of the month-long 'Praja Sangrama Yatra' on Saturday said, “You don't need a Tantrik to say that, Telangana's youth will throw you out."

He also slammed the KCR-led government by calling it "corrupt and useless", and appealed to people to give a missed call on a phone number released by the party to display their support for state BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar. 

The Home Minister also questioned the government over the fulfilment of the promise made during the formation of the state of Telangana.

 "I want to remind the people of Telangana, that KCR had promised Neelu (water), Nidhulu (funds), and Niyamakalu (jobs). Has any of it been fulfilled? We will fulfill those promises. We will give water, funds, and jobs." he said.

Mr. Shah also criticized the Telangana CM over farmers’ issues, promises to Dalits, OBCs, and crucial infrastructure development. 

"You promised to waive farmer loans...you promised 2bhk flats...you didn't give..You promised a ₹ 50,000 crore for Dalits...You promised 3-acre land to every Dalit...you didn't even give 30 cents," Amit Shah said.

He also panned the KCR government for not allocating ₹ 100 crores for the welfare of backward classes.

"You had to build four super-specialty hospitals in Hyderabad but instead, you spoilt Osmania and Gandhi’s medical colleges," the Home Minister said.
