KT Rama Rao to launch Rs 900 crore worth of development projects in Hanamkonda

Telangana IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao will launch Rs 900 crore worth of development projects in Hanamkonda on Friday.

The projects include a bus station modeled after the RTC bus station in Hyderabad, as well as other infrastructure projects.

MLAs Vinay Bhaskar, Challa Dharma Reddy and MLC Baswaraju Saraiah also held a press conference on Wednesday to announce the projects and criticize the BJP.

Vinay Bhaskar said that the BJP was doing petty politics and talking in a way that degrades people. He also said that while the BRS was worshipping Mahatma Gandhi, the BJP was worshipping Nathuram Godse, who assassinated Gandhi.

Vinay Bhaskar also said that the BRS had no business with the BJP and that the party did not have to join the NDA alliance. He challenged the BJP to fulfil the promises made to Telangana during the bifurcation of the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh if the party loves the people of the State. Vinay Bhaskar also predicted that the BJP would not get deposits in the upcoming elections and that the party’s existing MLAs would also lose.

Baswaraj Saraiah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments on Minister KT Rama Rao were not correct. He also said all the people of the country were looking towards Telangana.
