Nizamabad, Sept.7 (Hydnow): Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha has launched a fresh tirade against the BJP government at the Centre, alleging that it is hatching a conspiracy to stop all welfare schemes in Telangana by bringing pressure on the State government.
Addressing the people after handing over the new Asara pension cards to the beneficiaries at Rajiv Gandhi Auditorium in Nizamabad town on Wednesday, Kavitha said Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has initiated many welfare schemes for the development of all sections of people but the Centre is exerting the pressure on the State government to stop such schemes, branding them as freebies.
“Welfare schemes for poor people are not freebies but writing off huge loans taken by corporates are actual freebies,” she pointed out.

The former Member of Parliament from Nizamabad also lashed out at Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for indulging in an argument with the Kamareddy district collector. During her recent visit to Kamareddy district, the Union Minister reprimanded the district collector for not putting a photo of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the fair price shop.
Responding to this, Kavitha said that in the history of independent India, the Prime Ministers’ pictures were never put up outside PDS shops. Not in Nehru’s time, Manmohan Singh or even Vajpayee, no one has had their pictures put up. It is very ridiculous asking the officials to put a photo of the Prime Minister at the ration shop.
“Sitharaman ji, if you want the Prime Minister’s pictures to be put up, we will surely do so. We will put them up on gas cylinders, packets of urea, petrol and diesel stations, and oil and dal packets. Wherever the costs are rising, we will put up pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Kavitha said.

Further, MLC Kavitha accused the union government of depriving the fundamental rights of poor people and denying support to the TRS government which has been initiating various programs for the welfare of the poor.
MLA Ganesh Gupta and other leaders were present. Later, MLC Kavitha had lunch with the new Asara pension beneficiaries. (Hydnow)
