KCR and family embezzled public funds: Bhatti

PEDDAPALLI: In a no-holds-barred attack, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Saturday accused former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao and his family of embezzling state funds and stashing them in foreign countries.

Addressing a public meeting in Ramagundam town along with Ministers D Sridhar Babu and Ponnam Prabhakar, Vikramarka wondered how KCR and his family could face the public, given their “failure” to create jobs and implement schemes.

He also alleged that the KCR regime failed to attract foreign investments to the state. “The people need a government that serves their interests rather than a feudal government. The Congress government is serving the interests of the people,” the deputy CM said.

Vikramarka said that the government plans to sell surplus electricity from the 27,0159 MW that the state would produce once the various power projects under construction are completed by 2032. This includes the 800 MW plant in Ramagundam, he said.

Comparing the BRS regime with the Congress government, he said that the current administration actively engages with the public while the previous administration was beyond the reach of the common man.

Vikramarka said that all eligible farmers would benefit from the crop loan waiver and from the proposed Rajiv Ambedkar Knowledge Centres in every Assembly segment.
