Uttam hits out at BJP, BRS for criticising 5-month-old Congress government
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: Civil supplies and irrigation minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy has criticised the BRS and BJP leaders for questioning the performance of the Congress government, which had taken over the administration just five months ago. Addressing a meeting in his Huzurnagar constituency on Sunday in support of Congress candidate K. Raghuveer Reddy for the Nalgonda Lok Sabha seat, Uttam Kumar Reddy accused the Opposition parties of mismanagement during their nearly 10-year rule, leading to the deterioration of the economy, agriculture, public health, infrastructure, and other sectors, particularly Telangana state. Just imagine the kind of growth Telangana could have achieved in the past 10 years if the central government had kept all the promises.” Recalling that Modi had even questioned the formation of Telangana on multiple occasions, Uttam Kumar Reddy said, “The BJP does not have any moral right to seek votes because it has done nothing for Telangana in the last 10 years," he said. Instead of causing trouble for the Congress government in Telangana, KCR should focus on keeping his party together and act like a responsible opposition leader."
