Power, freedom and resources are confined to BRS in Telangana: Bhatti Vikramarka

Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Bhatti Vikramarka said freedom, power and resources were for people but unfortunately in Telangana they were just confined to the ruling party, people had revealed it during his 1,300-km padayatra in Telangana.

There was an overwhelming feeling among people that Congress should come back and feudal lords have to go, and thousands of people whom he had interacted with believed that the present rulers must go at any cost, Mr. Vikramarka said at a press conference here on Saturday.

The CLP leader in the presence of TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy, Nalgonda MP N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, Manthani MLA D. Sreedhar Babu and former PCC presidents, V. Hanmanth Rao and Ponnala Lakshmaiah went through his three-month journey explaining how the BRS government had failed to fulfil the needs of people. “Telangana achieved through struggles and agitations is being destroyed by the whims and fancies of one man and the rosy picture shown by KCR is absolute falsehood,” he said.

Speaking on repeated allegations of Congress contribution to Telangana, he said every drop of water used for irrigation in Telangana now was the contribution of the Congress while the projects constructed by the BRS had not added a single new acre for cultivation.

The party would soon go to all the irrigation projects with a programme “Selfie with Projects” and explain to people who constructed the projects with how much money and how they had benefitted the State. The party would also go to the projects constructed by the BRS and explain the kind of money spent on it and the benefits accrued through them. Not a single drop had been lifted under the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Project while Kaleshwaram waters were being sent into the sea.

Explaining his interactions with people across sections of society during the padayatra, he said while none of the promises made -- water, jobs and resources -- have come to people, the most important aspect of human life, freedom, had been snatched under the BRS rule.
