Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Sunday said the BJP-led Centre, which had no money to procure paddy from Telangana, had hundreds of crores to buy legislators.
Urging the people of Munugode not to get lured by any offers or false promises and to teach the BJP a lesson, he said an unnecessary by-election was imposed on the people of Munugode.
“The TRS along with the Left parties will continue to fight against the fascist forces. But we cannot fight without your support.
People should utilise their votes as their powerful weapon to oust the BJP,” he said.
Pointing out that the Modi government was terming welfare schemes like Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bima as freebies and suggesting that they should be stopped, Chandrashekhar Rao said the BJP government had waived off over loans worth Rs.14 lakh crore for corporate companies. The same government, however, was not willing to bear the burden of Rs 1.45 lakh crore per annum required to supply free power for the agriculture sector.
