Wealth and Power remained in KCR’s family, says Jairam Ramesh

The Hindu  

Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said not much has changed for the people of Telangana in the past nine years as the concentration of wealth and power only transferred from a “narrow group” alleged by then TRS chief K. Chandrashekhar to Chief Minister KCR’s family once he came to power. The reasons are numerous and how a democratic Telangana has turned into an autocratic State under a Chief Minister who has not visited the Secretariat in the past nine years, thus destroying the governance structure and to power remaining in one man and his family. In fact, poll strategist Prashant Kishor, who was working for the BRS, suggested to Mr. KCR to tie up with Congress to counter the BJP’s growth. The Bharat Jodo Yatra in Karnataka showed us the results and we knew it would pay similar dividends in Telangana.
