T Harish Rao challenges the BJP leaders to reveal the number of jobs created in the past six years

Siddipet: Urging the people not to believe in the promises made by BJP leaders during their campaign for the Dubbak byelection, Finance Minister T Harish Rao on Monday said the BJP had promised to generate employment for one crore annualy besides depositing Rs 15 lakh in peoples’ bank accounts following demonetisation.

He challenged the BJP leaders campaigning in Dubbak constituency to reveal the number of jobs created in the past six years, and why the money promised by the BJP government was not deposited into people’s accounts.

Highlighting BJP’s failures, Harish Rao said the BJP government has failed to set up Turmeric Board in Nizamabad though they had promised one during the election campaign in 2019.

Even after failing to fulfil the promises made by them, he said the BJP



leaders are indulging in propaganda such as giving a majority share in Aasara pension.

Saying the BJP-led union government is giving nothing to Telangana towards pensions, he questioned why the same BJP government is giving Rs 400 pension in Gujarat?

Dozens of party workers of the BJP and the Congress joined the TRS in the presence of Harish Rao at Reddy Sankshema Bhavan in Dubbak on Monday.

Addressing them, Harish Rao said the area under paddy cultivation increased to 1.30 lakh in Siddipet district since they were providing irrigation water through the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS). He said the area under paddy will increase to 4 lakh acres as they aim to complete all the projects, canals of KLIS by next monsoon.
