Hyderabad (Telangana) [India] : Telangana Minister and working President on the TRS, KT Rama Rao on Tuesday attacked the Congress, saying if they had worked as the BRS had in the last nine years of their rule, the state would have been much more developed than it was now.
"Those before us worked for 65 years. If they worked like us, it would have put the state on the path of further development. They ask for one more chance. We have given them 11 chances," he said, taking a dig at Congress
He was speaking after participating in the Telangana Builders Federation meet at Hyderabad.
KTR said that before 2014, a farmer possessing 5 acres of land did not get any proper facilities for farming and fell into 'debt.'
"Today, any farmer in Telangana will say that even if something happens to him, my family will be fine. The land value has increased since then. We should think about how it has increased," he claimed.
"The land value has increased not just in Hyderabad but in the entire state. This has brought confidence in the farmers," he added.
During his speech, he said that no work will happen if there is a change of guard in institutions after every 6 months.
"Stable government, able leadership is the reason for the development in the state. If an institution's head changes in every 6 months, no work will happen".
Telangana is scheduled to go to assembly elections on November 30 and the counting of votes, along with those of four other poll-bound states, has been scheduled for December 3.
The state is set to witness a triangular contest among the BJP, BRS, and Congress.
In the previous Assembly election in 2018, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), previously known as Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), won 88 of the 119 seats, hogging 47.4 per cent of the total vote share. The Congress came in a distant second with just 19 seats.
