Hyderabad, Oct.19 (NSS): Responding to BRS leader Harish Rao’s challenge, Minister for Tourism Jupally Krishna Rao has proposed an open debate on the State’s finances before and after the formation of Telangana, including corruption, debts, and how much it has been looted by the previous government.
Speaking to the media at Gandhi Bhavan here a media gathering in Hyderabad, Jupally Krishna Rao said Harish Rao had thrown a challenge that he would come to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s house.
“I accept this challenge, but there is no need for the Chief Minister to respond. I will take it upon myself to meet the challenge,” Jupally Krishna Rao said.
He suggested that the discussion should be taken place at Lal Bahadur Stadium in front of 50,000 people and media representatives.
Jupally confidently claimed to have all the necessary evidence to expose the misdeeds and corruption of the previous government.
He further criticised the BRS leaders for challenging the Chief Minister on the Musi rejuvenation project and found fault with them for the propagation of Rs.1.5 lakh crore scam.
“KTR and Harish Rao are misleading the public about the Musi rejuvenation project, claiming a massive looting. They are acting like saints, but they are the ones who have looted Telangana,” said Jupally, accusing the KCR family of draining the State’s resources.
The Minister also highlighted promises made by the previous BRS government that went unfulfilled. “KCR promised to turn Hyderabad into Dallas, London, and Istanbul, and said Hussain Sagar would be so clean that we could drink coconut water from it. We welcome these promises, but it’s time to liberate the poor from the slums along Musi.”
