HYDERABAD: Chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday chalked out BRS strategy for the budget session of Parliament, directing party MPs to boycott President Droupadi Murmu‘s address as the first move in the planned showdown with the BJP-led central government.
This will also be the first show of defiance in Parliament by BRS against the Centre after its national metamorphosis. Thereafter, BRS MPs will utilise the session to strategically expose BJP government’s “mistakes and damages wreaked on the country through lopsided policies, and also how it blocked development of a progressive state such as Telangana”.
Compel the BJP government to tell the nation why it set up financial and developmental obstacles against Telangana,” K Chandrasekhar Rao told party MPs.
Earlier, his MPs had boycotted former President Ram Nath Kovind‘s address in the last budget session.
At a parliamentary party meeting at Pragathi Bhavan, the CM told his MPs to expose the BJP government’s economic irregularities and how it handed over the people’s money and nation’s wealth to corporate friends, waived loans of crores of rupees and allowed them to enjoy profits, while making the common man suffer.
“Take support of individual MPs and like-minded parties to tell the nation from the floor of Parliament how the gubernatorial system is being misused by BJP to its political advantage. Raj Bhavans are being used to undermine the state’s authority, usurp state powers and wreck the nation’s federal spirit,” KCR said.
The meeting lasted for over four hours with party MPs expressing concern on Centre’s policies that caused immense damage to the country.
“Their policies have become obstacles to unity, integrity and development. It’s shocking how the central government is handing over the hard-earned money of people to corporate friends. In public sector companies such as LIC, shares are being transferred to big businessmen. And the country is watching the hollow foundation of these corporates, whose shares are plummeting every day. The BJP government is making irreparable loss by privatising the country’s assets and hushing up financial irregularities of corporate friends. BRS MPs should condemn the dangerous economic policies in both Houses of Parliament,” KCR said.
The chief minister also came down heavily on the central government for using governors as their agents to weaken the states and directed his MPs to raise this issue in Parliament.
Governors are supposed to be a bridge between the Centre and states, while performing constitutional duties.
“Governors are deliberately delaying assent to decisions of the cabinet and legislatures,” he said.
Assurances made to Telangana in the State Reorganisation Act are not being implemented, so raise your voice and bring these issues to the notice of the nation, KCR said.
