Finance Minister T Harish Rao criticized the comments made by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman regarding meters. He stated that these comments exposed the Congress and BJP parties. Harish Rao questioned how these leaders could ask for votes in the State with such remarks.
During a press conference in Siddipet, Harish Rao mentioned that the BJP leaders have been spreading lies for years, but Nirmala Sitharaman’s clarification on fixing meters for agricultural pump sets has revealed the truth. He further questioned how BJP leaders like Eatala Rajender, Raghunandan Rao, and Dharmapuri Arvind could now seek votes with their faces.
Harish Rao highlighted that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was the only leader in the country who firmly stated that he would not install motors on pump sets. He also pointed out that Nirmala Sitharaman’s statement not only exposed the BJP but also the Congress party. Harish Rao emphasized that since KCR is leading in the State, fixing motors on pump sets was not possible, unlike in 12 other states.
