Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday stated his authorities would launch two ballot ‘guarantees’ of the ruling Congress — the provision of LPG cylinders for Rs 500 and free energy provide of up to 200 models for the poor — on February 27, with AICC General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra current on the event.

Revanth Reddy hit out on the Centre for not acceding to the demand to recognise the continuing ‘Sammakka Saarakka Jaathara’ within the state as a nationwide pageant, alleging that it was “discrimination and negligence” in direction of Telangana.

The chief minister spoke to reporters after providing prayers to the deities through the mega tribal pageant at Medaram in Mulugu district of Telangana.

“Out of the six poll guarantees, we are going to launch two on 27th (February) evening,” he stated. The provide of LPG cylinders for Rs 500 and free energy provide of up to 200 models to white ration card holders could be began on February 27, he added.

“Smt Priyanka Gandhi ji is also going to attend the programme,” he added.

The state authorities has already begun the implementation of two guarantees — free journey for girls in state-run RTC buses and well being scheme of Rs 10 lakh for the poor, the CM stated.

Furthermore, he stated, of the 2 lakh job vacancies promised to be stuffed, the federal government has stuffed 25,000 vacancies and handed over appointment letters in public occasions.

Over 6,000 vacancies will likely be stuffed by March 2, the CM stated, including that the pending appointment of chairman of the Press Academy may also be performed forthwith to cope with points regarding the media within the state.

“The government will also come out with a good news on farm loan waiver up to Rs two lakh,” he stated.

Referring to alleged shortcomings in development of irrigation initiatives through the earlier BRS regime, he requested whether or not the NDA authorities on the Centre has taken any motion towards the previous CM ”KCR or his household” on any allegations of corruption.

He claimed that there’s a tacit understanding between the BRS and BJP for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Referring to his demand for recognising the ’Sammakka Saarakka Jaathara’ as a nationwide pageant, the chief minister took exception to union minister and state BJP chief G Kishan Reddy saying that there isn’t any system of recognising a pageant as a nationwide pageant.

”I noticed in newspapers Union Minister Kishan Reddy saying it isn’t attainable to give nationwide standing. If that’s true, this discrimination just isn’t good,” he stated.

While the Centre releases a whole lot of crores of rupees for the ’kumbh mela’ (in Uttar Pradesh), it gave a meagre Rs three crore for the ’Sammakka Saarakka Jaathara’ which is just like the ’kumbh mela’ within the south, he claimed.

This exhibits the Centre’s discrimination and negligence in direction of Telangana and the ’Jaathara’, he alleged.

“Kishan Reddy should withdraw his comments and invite PM Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to visit the Jaathara,” he stated.

The state authorities invitations the PM and the Home Minister to attend the occasion, he added.

”You are inviting all to go to Lord Ram in Ayodhya. We all go to Lord Ram in Ayodhya. We are inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and Home Minister Amit Shah ji to go to the Sammakka Saarakka Jaathara, the ’kumbh mela’ within the south,” he stated.

He would welcome them as chief minister, Revanth Reddy added.

Kishan Reddy mustn’t converse in a method of insulting the Adivasis by refusing to give ’nationwide standing’ to the pageant, he stated.

”It just isn’t good for the Centre to discriminate as north India and south India. Not simply in south India, ’Sammakka Saarakka Jaathara’ has a particular recognition on the earth,” he stated.

Meanwhile, an official launch stated, State minister D Sridhar Babu, Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy and senior officers additionally supplied prayers on the ’Jaathara’.

Personnel of varied authorities departments, together with the police, well being, sanitation, income, endowments, and state-run mine Singareni Collieries, rendered yeoman service on the ’Jaathara’ attended by lakhs of individuals, it added.
