Rahul Gandhi should change his name as Election Gandhi- Kavitha

Hyderabad: Lashing out at the Congress leaders for visiting state only during the election time, the BRS MLC K Kavitha on Wednesday suggested the Congress senior leader Rahul Gandhi to change his name as 'Election Gandhi'.

Addressing a press conference here at Bodhan, Kavitha said that it was illogical to come to the election bound state, talk a few words and leave. People of Telangana are very much aware of the political situation in the state. She said Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao brought prosperity in the Telangana state which was grappling with drought and several other problems. Many big wigs like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi are coming to the state, which shows how strong the BRS was in Nizamabad. "We welcome all those who the tourists. Please tell us what you will do after coming. During your tour, witness the development by seeing the entire Nizamabad district. See the greenery, improved canals, see the SRSP full of water, see everything and leave but don't disturb the peaceful atmosphere here," said Kavitha.

Kavitha said that the SRSP project which was started during the regime of the first Prime Minister and great grandfather of Rahul Gandhi, Jawaharalal Nehru was completed by the BRS government. The Congress was a party which starts a project and keeps it pending for three generations but the BRS government led by CM KCR has completed the Kaleshwaram project within three and half years, MLC Kavitha said in her interaction.

The BRS leader said that while the Congress party during its 65 years rule gave one BC hostel to Nizamabad but the CM KCR gave 15 hostels. This was possible because the BRS knows how many BCs there in the state are. Rahul Gandhi talks about the BC census, but he should know that the BRS government gave top priority to the BCs immediately after coming into power. BRS is the government of BCs. BRS is the only government in the country to provide scholarships to 8,000 students from the backward classes community and sent them abroad for higher studies. "People should think whether we should believe the leaders who were talking about politics or those who were working for them even when there were no elections," said Kavitha, asking why Rahul Gandhi did not question the BJP in Parliament on the AP Reorganization Act. Why Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi did not raise objection when the Prime Minister opposed the formation of Telangana?
