Congress Legislature Party deputy leader in the Telangana Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir on Saturday threatened that he would explore legal options to register a case of cheating against Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and other TRS leaders for making false promises in their party manifesto.
Shabbir Ali told media that, "KCR had deliberately cheated the people of Telangana, especially farmers, by making non-practical promises on supplying power. Instead of eight hours, the TRS should have promised power supply for three hours as it was aware that the new State would face shortage of energy due to bifurcation of the State. Therefore, the TRS is liable to be prosecuted for making false promises and drove several farmers to suicide".
Responding to Panchayat Raj Minister K T Rama Rao's allegations that Congress was responsible for the present situation, Shabbir Ali said, "They are blaming us for the energy crisis, suicide of farmers, sacrifices made for Telangana and everything else that is going wrong. Despite being in power, they don't want to accept responsibility. If blaming the Congress is the only solution, then the TRS Government should resign and allow us to run the government. We will show them how the government could be run", he said.
