Health and Finance Minister T Harish Rao strongly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent comments during his visit to Telangana. Speaking at a public gathering in Makthal, Rao expressed his disappointment with the Prime Minister’s attempts to create division among people and criticize Chief Minister KCR for political gain. He reminded the audience of Modi’s previous praise for KCR in Parliament and his recognition of the CM’s focus on important issues like water resources and development projects. Rao urged Modi to move beyond political tactics and engage in meaningful discussions.
Rao also countered Modi’s remarks about family rule in Telangana by questioning the Prime Minister’s inclusion of leaders from royal dynasties like Jyotiraditya Scindia, Anurag Thakur, and Piyush Goyal into the BJP. He accused Modi of hypocrisy for welcoming corrupt leaders from other parties into the BJP and giving them nominated posts and ministerial positions. Rao highlighted that BRS leaders had actively participated in the state’s movement and earned their electoral victories through the support of the people, unlike some BJP leaders.
During his visit, Harish Rao inaugurated newly constructed double-bedroom houses in Madanapuram and initiated the construction of a 30-bed hospital in Kottakota and a 100-bed hospital in Devarakadramandals. He also started development work on the Sankireddypalli BT Road. Minister Singireddy Niranjan Reddy, Srinivas Goud, MP Manne Srinivas Reddy, MLA Ala Venkateswar Reddy, and other leaders from the Mahabubnagar region accompanied him during the visit.
