Shed step-motherly treatment towards Telangana: KTR to PM Modi

Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president and Telangana IT minister KT Rama Rao on Saturday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on his visit to the state, to abandon his ‘indifference and step-motherly treatment’ towards Telangana.

KTR also specifically called for a clear statement from the Prime Minister regarding the establishment of a Tribal University during his visit.

In a series of tweets, KTR highlighted that the delay in establishing a Tribal University in Telangana, which was promised in the AP Reorganisation Act, deprived thousands of Tribal youth in the state of higher education opportunities.

“Despite the Telangana government identifying and handing over 350 acres in Mulugu nearly 6 years ago, the BJP-led Central Government has failed to establish the university, and sanction funds for this crucial institution,” said KTR.

“Scores of representations by our Chief Minister and other leaders have fallen on deaf ears,” the minister underlined.

On July 7, KTR further criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing various issues and calling for a boycott of his tour to the state.

He accused the Prime Minister of not fulfilling any of the promises he made, instead focusing on laying the foundation stone for a railway factory in Gujarat.

“Prime Minister Modi has not fulfilled even a single promise that he had made. He is busy laying the foundation stone for a railway factory in Gujarat,” said the BRS leader.

Further, hitting out at PM Modi, he said, “Not only has a brick been laid for the proposed coach factory, clearance for the tribal university is also pending. Bayyaram Steel factory project, which was promised, has also not come to fruition yet,” he added.
