The Statesman Bhubaneswar|December 22, 2024
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K. T. Rama Rao on Saturday told the Telangana State Assembly that all BRS MLAs will resign if the Congress government proves that it is supplying 24-hour electricity to farmers or that it has waived loans of all farmers.

He alleged that the Congress government is falsely claiming that it is giving round-the-clock uninterrupted power.

Throwing the challenge during the debate on Rythu Bharosa, the BRS leader told Minister for Roads and Buildings Komatireddy Venkat Reddy that he was ready to come with him to Nalgonda district. "If you can show us even in one log book that 24-hour power is being supplied, all we MLAs will resign," he said.

Similarly, KTR, as Rama Rao is popularly called, also offered to accompany the minister to any village in Kodangal or Sircilla constituency to check on farm loan waivers. "If you can show that loans of 100 percent farmers were waived even one village, I will resign as MLA and take retirement from politics," he said.
