KTR accuses BJP of threatening Medak voters

Telangana Information Minister K Tarakarama Rao on Thursday accused BJP candidate Jagga Reddy of threatening the voters of Medak Lok Sabha constituency while seeking their votes in the by-elections.

Participating in the electioneering at Patencheru, Medak and other places, KTR said that the BJP has been threatening the voters that the Centre would stop development schemes in Medak if they don't vote in favour of Jagga Reddy. He said such threats would not work in favour of BJP and instead, people would reject the party and its candidate. He said that the TRS candidate Kotha Prabhakar Reddy was all set to win the by-elections with a thumping majority.

Accusing the BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre of not cooperating with the Telangana Government, he said that the Centre should have extended support to the government of a new State. He said instead of wielding threats, the Telangana BJP leaders should play an active role in strengthening the relationship between the State and the Centres.

KTR alleged that Jagga Reddy was already rejected by the people of Sangareddy and he would face a humiliating defeat in the Medak Lok Sabha by-elections.
