Congress will bag 80% of civic bodies in Telangana, says Ponnam Prabhakar

KARIMNAGAR

Minister for Transport and Backward Classes Welfare Ponnam Prabhakar has asserted that the Congress party will bag more than 80% of the civic bodies which went to polls across the State on Wednesday.

Speaking to reporters in Karimnagar on Wednesday evening, he accused the BJP and the BRS of being hand-in-glove in spreading false propaganda against the Congress government and misleading people with false promises in the just concluded civic polls.

He alleged that the BJP-led government at the Centre had meted out a raw deal to Telangana in sanction of funds for various development works and projects in the last 12 years.

“The BJP and the BRS made a mockery of democracy by resorting to intimidating acts and unethical practices during the municipal elections,” he charged.

He reiterated that the people of the State reposed their faith in the Congress party in the civic elections for implementing multifarious welfare schemes and striving for Telangana’s accelerated development.
