‘Corruption-ridden’ BRS remote-controlled by Modi regime, says Rahul Gandhi

Dubbing the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi in Telangana as the BJP’s ‘B’ team, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi called upon people of Telangana to vote for the Congress in the Telangana Assembly polls on November 30 to defeat the ‘corruption-ridden’ BRS at the hustings. The BRS dispensation here is being remotely controlled by the Narendra Modi regime at the Centre and both the parties along with the AIMIM are working together to defeat the Congress, he charged while addressing a huge public meeting held in Telangana’s tribal heartland of Mulugu on Wednesday evening. Mr.Gandhi addressed the election meeting, flanked by his sister and AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and a host of State Congress leaders, including Mulugu MLA Seethakka, sounding the poll bugle in the tribal region of poll-bound Telangana. We will implement all the six guarantees including ₹2500 per month, gas cylinder at ₹500 for women, 200-unit free power to each household as assured after coming to power.” The legitimate rights of Adivasis over ‘jal, jungle and zameen’ will be upheld and their interests will be safeguarded by the Congress, he assured, saying the party after coming to power at the Centre will declare the historic Sammakka Saralamma jathara, the biannual mega tribal fair, as a national festival on the lines of Kumbh Mela.
