N Ramachander Rao Takes Charge As New Telangana BJP President
Hyderabad: Former MLC N Ramchander Rao, an ABVP veteran and senior advocate, on Saturday took over as the new president of the BJP in Telangana, succeeding G Kishan Reddy. Ramchander Rao officially assumed charge at BJP's Telangana headquarters here in the presence of Kishan Reddy, party MP D K Aruna and several other leaders. Ramchander Rao offered prayers at the famous Bhagyalakshmi temple at Charminar here before taking over his new role. He paid tributes at the Telangana Amaraveerula Stupam near the Legislative Assembly complex, the memorial for those who sacrificed their lives for the cause of Telangana statehood. Expressing his gratitude to BJP leadership and the activists, he pledged to work for expanding the party's reach in Telangana and serve the people under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On state Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar's comments that BJP has proved itself to be "anti-backward classes" by not making a BC leader as its state unit president, Rao said, by the same logic, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, who belongs to Other Castes (OC), should quit and hand over the post to a BC leader. Ramachander Rao belongs to OCs. Prime Minister Narendra Modi belongs to backward classes and there are 29 Union Ministers who belong to the BCs, he told reporters. "We are for the backward classes," Rao said, adding that there are many MPs, MLAs and other BC leaders in the BJP. Soon after assuming his new role, Rao, in an open letter to CM Revanth Reddy, demanded that the Congress government implement its poll promises, including financial assistance of Rs 2,500 per month to poor women, one tola gold to brides under 'Kalyana Lakshmi' and 'Shadi Mubarak' schemes, interest-free loans to Self-Help Group (SHG) members, scootys to female college students and increasing social security pensions to Rs 4,000 per month. Rao was on July 1 elected as the new president of the BJP in Telangana.

KTR slams Telangana Congress govt for unfulfilled promises

However, despite completing 17 months in power, many promises remain a meeting at Mittapalli village in Khammam district after unveiling the statue of Rayala Seshagiri Rao, a local leader, KTR said, "Though three ministers represent Khammam district, nothing has been done for the district. "Taking a dig at deputy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, the BRS working president said that Bhatti Vikramarka had made promises to the people in an affidavit, but had failed to deliver."KCR launched the Sitharama project for the people of Khammam and introduced many welfare schemes for the poor during the 10 years of BRS rule," KTR said."People voted for the Congress for a change in the last assembly elections. Congress won all the seats in United Khammam district. Now people should think whether the change they wanted was good or they should feel guilty for not supporting BRS," he alleged that after the Congress govt came to power, many welfare schemes like KCR Kits were not implemented and Rythu Bandhu funds were not released. "Rythu Bandhu, loan waiver and Shadi Mubarak were either partially implemented or completely stalled," KTR urged the people not to trust the Delhi parties — Congress and BJP — and to support the BRS in the next local body elections, likely to be held in July this minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar, MP Vaddiraju Ravi Chandra, MLC Tata Madhusudhan and others attended the meeting.
