Is Rahul Praising Or Scolding Modi, Asks Harish Rao
The Telangana irrigation minister accused Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi of visiting Telangana for petty political gain and to wake up his inactive party workers.
Telangana Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao today accused the Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi of visiting Telangana State for petty political gain.
Speaking to the media on Saturday, Rao excoriated Rahul Gandhi for dubbing Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao as "mini-Modi".
"Is Rahul praising or scolding Prime Minister Narendra Modi?" he asked.
He also ridiculed Gandhi for enacting a new drama with Rythu Bharosa Yatra just to make the crestfallen Congress workers active.
Rahul, who disappeared during the Parliament session, had no moral right to criticize the TRS government, he said.
Attributing the farmers' suicides to the lopsided policies of the Congress, Rao dismissed Rahul's so-called bharosa yatras as of no use. "The KCR government is sparing no efforts for the cause of the poor and the farmers," he said.
The Congress, which had failed to take any useful measures to wean farmers away from suicides when in power, was now resorting to mud-slinging in despair, he charged. (NSS)
