BRS, BJP blindly opposing Congress’ programmes: CM on Bharat Summit

Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday, November 13, hit out at the BRS and the BJP over their criticism of the ongoing Bharat Summit, accusing the two parties of “blindly opposing” the Congress government’s programmes.

The state government would use the summit to showcase Telangana as a convenient investment destination and highlight its potential, he said.

The two-day summit, backed by the Telangana government, will see policymakers, political leaders, thinkers and changemakers from the Global South and the Global North take part.

The summit is being held to mark 80 years of India’s Independence and the 137th birth anniversary of the country’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.

Reddy alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was promoting investments in Gujarat, and asked why GIFT City-like facilities were not being extended to other states.

“The Government of India and the prime minister are working only for Gujarat. This is my firm opinion and my allegation against him,” he said.
