Dr. Chandrappa, BJP MLA and former KSRTC chairman, appealed the people of Telangana to vote for double engine government in Telangana so that development will be on fast track. Speaking to reporters in Hyderabad, Dr. Chandrappa said that Congress has cheated the people of Karnataka in the name of guarantees and urged the people in Telangana not to fell in its trap.
“The government in Karnataka has been not extending 10 kilogram rice to poor people and instead offering Rs. 170 where as in open market the rice cost per kilogram is Rs. 60. Same was the case with unemployment allowance. They have promised Vidya nidhi of Rs. 3000 per month to all unemployed graduates”, he said.
However, he deplored that it was not given so far even after six months was over. 200 units free power for the poor is not being implemented and under Gruha Lakshmi they have promised Rs. 2,000, he added. Gruha Lakshmi 3 crore women and only 10 per cent are getting it. Media can inquire into these issues, he added.
Dr Chandrappa alleged that people in Karnataka had never seen any government like this before. Informing that excise duty was increased from 30 to 60 per cent and goverment revenue has increased from Rs. 23,000 crore in the past to Rs. 36,000 in the present government, the BJP MLA said that no progress in works despite increase in revenues.
Stating that the Congress is in Karnataka was divided into four groups led by Siddiramaiah, DK Siva Kumar, Satish, KH Muniyappa from madiga community, he said that they are unable to deliver the promises made to the people. Dr. Chandrappa said that only double engine government will get the development on fast track and urged the people to vote for BJP.
