The Bharat Rashtra Samithi on Friday announced that it would boycott the official programmes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Warangal on Saturday, protesting against the alleged step-motherly treatment towards Telangana.
BRS working president and state information and industries minister K T Rama Rao told media persons that his party and the government would stay away from Modi’s programmes, as he had betrayed the faith of the Telangana people.
KTR said right from the day one, Modi had been showing discrimination against Telangana by denying what was promised under the AP Reorganisation Act.
“As per the Act, the Centre has to establish a railway coach factory at Kazipet. But Modi had shifted it to Dahod in Gujarat and laid the foundation stone for the same last year at a cost of Rs 20,000 crore. He is now laying foundation for a railway coach repair unit at Kazipet with just Rs 521 crore, which is nothing but an eye-wash,” he said.
The BRS working president also accused the Modi government of deliberately denying the establishment of a tribal university, that was promised to be set up at Mahabubabad, despite the state government allotting 360 acres for the same.
“Similarly, Modi has not fulfilled the promise of establishing a steel plant at Bayyaram in Khammam district. The people of Telangana will not forgive him for betraying their faith,” he said.
