“No need to worry about Telangana people”: BRS MLA K Kavitha hits back at Rahul Gandhi

The daughter of Telangana Chief Minister KCR and BRS MLA, K Kavitha hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and said that the poll-bound state is holding number top rank in terms of per capita income in the country.

K Kavitha on Rahul Gandhi’s remarks

“He accused the Telangana government of corruption of ₹1 lakh crore in a couple of projects. The scriptwriters are misguiding him…We know how to run our state by ourselves. We are the number one state in the country – in terms of per capita income, of paddy production and irrigation project…,” she told ANI during poll rally in Nizamabad on Thursday.

While hitting back on Rahul Gandhi’s comment about power being vested on family in Telagana, Kavitha says “Priyanka Gandhi who is the great-great-granddaughter of Motilal Nehru, great-granddaughter of Jawahar Lal Nehru, granddaughter of Indira Gandhi and daughter of Rajiv Gandhi is talking about family politics. This is the funniest thing I have heard in the election campaign. They should not be sitting in glass houses and throw stones at others…”

Rahul Gandhi accuses KCR govt in Telangana

Rahul Gandhi, on the other hand, addressed a poll rally in Telangana’s Bhupalpall on Thursday where he accused the KCR-led government of corruption. He also accused the state government of following autocracy and said that only the KCR’s family has been in power in the state for the last ten years.

“You dreamed of a Telangana where its people would govern, but in the last ten years, your CM, KCR, distanced himself from the people, and only his family is ruling the state, shattering your dream. Telangana has the highest corruption in India, which adversely affects the youth and women of Telangana” Rahul Gandhi said.

He also emphasised on BJP’s support for Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and said that the former wants the KCR-led government to win the upcoming state elections.

“BJP, BRS, and MIM are collaborating, with all these parties attacking Congress. BJP is filing cases against opposition parties to silence their voices, yet there are no cases against KCR. The absence of CBI and ED cases against CM KCR raises questions” he said.

The Assembly polls in Telangana are scheduled to take place on November 30, as per the announcement made by the Election Commission of India (ECI) on October 9. Following the polls, the counting of the votes will be done on December 3.
