BJP is ready for early elections in Telangana, says party president Bandi Sanjay

“Such a worship aimed at the destruction of others will not succeed,” he said.

Answering another question, the BJP state president said there were no “covert operatives” in the party, as claimed by senior leader and MLA Eatala Rajender.

“I don’t think he made any such statement,” he said about Rajender’s statement that some people in the BJP were leaking information to BRS chief KCR.

‘Why should people pay ACD charges?’

He called upon the people not to pay an Additional Consumption Deposit (ACD) along with electricity bill charges and sought to know why the people of the state should pay ACD charges for the inefficiency of the BRS government in bailing out the distribution companies.

“The consumers are already burdened with increased power tariff to the extent of ₹6,000 crore and the government is getting ready to impose an additional burden of ₹16,000 crore from April. Now, they are forced to cough up a huge burden in the name of ACD charges,” he alleged and asked the people not to pay the ACD charges, but to pull up the government.

Sanjay said it was a blatant lie on the part of the BRS government to say that he was providing power to the agriculture sector free of cost.

“The fact is that the government owed more than ₹60,000 crore to the distribution companies to compensate for the free power supply, leading to their virtual bankruptcy. The government departments themselves are due to pay ₹20,000 crore to discoms. If the BJP comes to power, we shall clear all these dues. This would mean it will be the BJP, not KCR, who has provided free power to farmers,” he said.

‘Question Chandrashekar Rao’

Asking the people not to give vent their anger at the electricity employees, the BJP state president called upon the consumers to question Chandrashekar Rao.

“Why is the state government not able to recover huge power bill dues and penalties in the old city of Hyderabad? The chief minister is trying to pamper the AIMIM and when we question the same, we are being accused of being communal,” he criticised.

Sanjay said it was shameful on the part of the chief minister to say that there were no suicides by farmers in Telangana. In fact, as per the National Crime Records Bureau figures, the state is in the fourth position in terms of farmers’ suicides.

“Out of 90,000 farmers who had received compensation under the Rythu Bima scheme, nearly 10,000 deaths were only by suicides. Who is responsible for their deaths?” he asked.

Ridiculing Chandrashekar Rao’s claim that he would make farmers MLAs, Sanjay said the claim was as true as making a Dalit the chief minister of Telangana. The chief minister should first explain how many farmers and women were inducted into his cabinet, he said.

‘KCR duped farmers’ 

Sanjay alleged that Chandrashekar Rao had completely duped the farming community.

“In the name of providing cash benefits under the Rythu Bandhu scheme, he had done away with all the other subsidies. He has cheated the farmers by not buying the paddy on time and not implementing Prime Minister Fasal Bima Yojana and not giving the bonus to the minimum support price (MSP),” he said.

Alleging that many villages in the state were not getting drinking water supply under the Mission Bhagiratha scheme, Sanjay said the quality of water was so poor that it was unfit even for washing clothes.

“It is ridiculous that Chandrashekhar Rao was talking about surplus water availability in the country when he is not able to utilise the available water within the state,” he said.

Ground Reality of 24×7 free electricity to agriculture is exactly opposite to claims of BRS govt. Telangana farmers are taking to roads pleading for proper supply of electricity. Farmers are bound to give electric shock to KCR in upcoming elections in the state. pic.twitter.com/DrfGjFbfJD

He also challenged the chief minister for a debate on the development and borrowings of Telangana.

Earlier, Sanjay conducted special prayers at Lord Anjaneya Swamy temple at Kondagattu in Jagitial district, along with other senior leaders.

Speaking to reporters at the temple, the BJP president sought to know why the chief minister had not released even a single rupee for the development of temples at Kondagattu, Dharmapuri and Vemulawada, as promised in the past.
