Modi’s visit aimed at helping BRS win: Revanth

Hyderabad: Reacting over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Mahbubnagar, PCC chief A Revanth Reddy held that his visit was part of the ‘grand scheme’ of BJP and BRS to divide the Opposition’s votes and help latter’s win in Assembly polls. He held that the money spent on Modi’s visit would have helped develop the district.

Addressing a press conference in Gandhi Bhavan, Revanth referring to ‘toned down’ attack on Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and policies, found Modi’s speech to be lacking ‘ferocity’ which he shows against Congress. “The secret agreement between the two parties is clearly visible to people. Modi has not only failed to mention anything about Kaleshwaram or Liquor scam, but also failed to assure people that he will expose KCR’s corruption. His visit clearly shows that it is meant to divide the Opposition’s vote and to ensure BRS’s win,” he alleged.

Dares ‘billa-ranga’ for an open debate

Referring to two leaders Modi and KCR as ‘billa-ranga’, the PCC chief dared them for ‘open debate’ over ‘implementation’ of poll promises under their rule (2014-2023) and Congress’s rule (2004-2014). “Are you ready for a debate on 10 years of your rule and 10 years of our rule ?” he asked.

Revanth said that Modi's visit has provided nothing substantial to the State. “We had hoped that the Prime Minister would declare national status to Palamuru-Rangareddy project and will fulfil all the assurances made in AP Reorganisation Act. Even the promises of Turmeric Board and Tribal University are not new,” he added.
