In poll-bound Telangana, Sonia, Rahul Gandhi assail KCR for ‘family rule’

In her first public meeting in Telangana since the state’s formation in June 2014, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi castigated the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led TRS government, saying it neglected dalits, tribals, minorities, women and students with CM Rao working only for himself and those close to him.

In her first public meeting in Telangana since the state’s formation in June 2014, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi castigated the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led TRS government, saying it neglected dalits, tribals, minorities, women and students with CM Rao working only for himself and those close to him.

“Chief Minister Rao has cared only for himself and his own people leaving the child (Telangana) to suffer. Dalits, adivasis, minorities, backward classes, women and students were all neglected. The chief minister should tell us what promises he made to them and he kept,” she said, while addressing a public meeting at Medchal on the outskirts of Hyderabad.

December 7th elections, she said, are an opportunity for the people of the state to show their power of vote. “I appeal all of you to vote for Congress and be a part of progress in Telangana,” she said while canvassing for her party.

Seeking to strike an emotional chord with the people of the state, Sonia compared Telangana to a newborn baby. She said every mother wishes her children to grow up well. “But I feel sad when I see the people of Telangana (suffer) and the state of affairs here,” she said. “What did the TRS government do for women and youth of Telangana in the past four years? If at all there was any development, it was only of one family (of KCR).”
