TRS govt only for KCR's family not for people: Veerappa Moily

Veerappa Moily: (1992-94: 2 years, 22 days): During the days of the ‘sealed envelope’ coming from the High Command, Moily pipped the more popular SM Krishna to the post, thanks to his mentor K Karunakaran. After Moily’s term ended, Congress hit its nadir in Karnataka winning only 39 seats. But, thanks to the benevolent party, he later not only became an MP, but a Union minister in UPA government.

Senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily alleged that the TRS government was not for the people of Telangana but only for the family of caretaker chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.

He also claimed KCR (as Rao is popularly known) was not concerned about problems of the people and had not fulfilled the promises made to them.

Addressing a press conference here, he said the Congress, if voted to power in the December 7 assembly elections, would implement all the promises made in its manifesto.

Telangana was created by Congress. If voted to power, Congress will implement the promises including increasing the reservation to ST communities in proportion to their population," he said.

On the other hand, the BJP and TRS had 'failed' in everything, he alleged. He claimed that people wanted to throw out the KCR-led government and bring Congress to power and that the BJP and TRS were in nexus.

The TRS had supported the BJP-led NDA government on issues including demonetisation and GST.
