Modi’s graph going down: KTR

​Hyderabad: Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) working president K T Rama Rao on Monday said that the graph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going down every day and neither the BJP nor the Congress can get the magic figure of 273 Lok Sabha seats in the coming elections. 

The TRS leader was addressing a gathering of leaders from Nagarjunasagar, who joined the TRS at Telangana Bhavan on Monday. Rama Rao said the graph of Narendra Modi was going down and the Congress is not in a position to reach a level to form government. 

“No party would be getting even closer to the 273 mark in Lok Sabha and the role TRS is going to play would be important in formation of central government,” he said. The people should give 16 seats to Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and the TRS, he added. The TRS leader asked the party cadre to continue the spirit they showed during the Assembly elections. This is a year of elections where there will be polls to Parliament, societies, MPTCs, ZPTCs, Municipalities. Pink flag should fly high in every village in the State, he said.

Rao said the State government was pro-poor and the schemes were designed to benefit these sections. He said that three States copied the popular programme of the TRS government and as per the information they have Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also contemplating to start Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Beema scheme, which is a good move.

Rama Rao said that the Congress leaders had failed to address the fluoride issue in Nalgonda. When the then Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy allocated Rs 9,000 crore for drinking water in Chittor, leaders like K Jana Reddy and Uttam Kumar Reddy did not ask funds for Nalgonda. Though these leaders were Ministers for many years, they did nothing for solving the fluoride problem, he said. Nalgonda taught a great lesson to these Congress leaders, he opined.

The TRS leader said that because of the decision of making tandas into Gram Panchayats, about 3,400 tribals would become Sarpanchs now. Out of the 12,751 Gram Panchayats 25 to 26 per cent of the Sarpanchs would be from tribals, he added.
