Congress accuses TRS of plagiarising its manifesto ideas

​Hyderabad: Telangana Congress treasurer Gudur Narayana Reddy on Tuesday has accused caretaker Chief Minister and TRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao of copying the important points of Congress  manifesto. “Congress party has won the elections even before the polling on December 7. By copying almost all points from the draft manifesto of Congress party, KCR has accepted defeat. 

While Congress party came up with proposals like doubling the Aasara pension amount after getting feedback from people, KCR simply copied it and just added Rs 16 to suit his superstitious beliefs in numerology. Similarly, KCR copied the promise of unemployment allowance and just added Rs 16 to Rs 3,000 already promised by Congress party. 

By doing so, KCR has not only proved himself a copycat, but also displayed his intellectual bankruptcy,” said Narayana Reddy. The Congress leader ridiculed the Chief Minister’s contention that Pay Revision Commission for employees was not announced due to Model Code of Conduct. 

“It is strange that the TRS manifesto was announced by KCR himself and not K Keshava Rao, the chairman of Manifesto Committee. This shows that the TRS is an individual-centric and family-centric party,” he said.
