Former Telangana Minister T. Harish Rao launched a sharp attack on the Congress government, questioning police actions before the Jubilee Hills by-election. Speaking at a community event in Erragadda, he asked why police bind over only rowdies if the Congress claims to act fairly.
Harish Rao said the Jubilee Hills election is a fight between a “Lady and a Rowdy,” referring to BRS candidate Sunitha and her rival. He asked why Naveen Yadav’s family members were bound over if they were not rowdies. He asserted that Sunitha represents not just herself but also KCR and the entire BRS party. According to him, a BRS victory would force the Congress to rethink its anti-people policies.
He accused the Congress of neglecting Hyderabad’s development. Harish Rao noted that the BRS government built 43 flyovers, while the Congress failed to lay even a small road in two years. He reminded people that Mission Bhagiratha inspired the central government’s Har Ghar Jal scheme, which still remains incomplete after eight years.
Continuing his criticism, Harish Rao alleged large-scale corruption under the Congress rule. He claimed that real estate collapsed because of high commissions demanded by the Chief Minister. He said the government is collecting 30% commissions for construction and land approvals, which is scaring investors and damaging Hyderabad’s growth.
