Congress not implementing poll guarantees in Karnataka: Nadda warns Telangana of 'false promises'
Hyderabad (PTI): Accusing Congress of not implementing its poll guarantees in Karnataka, BJP president J P Nadda on Thursday alleged that both Congress and ruling BRS in Telangana make false promises to the people.
Nadda, who addressed an election rally at Sangareddy town near here, said people of Karnataka are waiting for implementation of promises by the Congress government, such as the unemployment dole and 200 units of free power.
"Congress and KCR (BRS president and Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao) talk about guarantees. Either Congress or KCR, corruption and family rule are guaranteed if they come to power (in Telangana)," he said.
Nadda attacked Chief Minister Chandrasekhar Rao over his election promises, including providing double bedroom houses for the poor, and implementation of the Dalit Bandhu scheme.
He also hit out at the CM over alleged corruption and family rule in Telangana.

T'gana BC panel seeks reports over infant's death, family alleges caste abuse
Hyderabad (PTI): The Telangana Commission for Backward Classes on Monday sought reports from state government officials on the death of an infant following alleged assault and caste abuse against her family members in Nagarkurnool district while visiting a temple fair.
In separate letters, Commission Chairman G Niranjan urged Endowments Department Commissioner S Harish and Nagarkurnool district Collector Badavath Santhosh to furnish the reports within three days.
Niranjan drew the officials' attention to media reports on the death of the two-month-old baby at Kummera village in the district and alleged caste discrimination and denial of entry to the temple fair to the baby's family belonging to a BC community.
BJP OBC Morcha's state unit president G Anand Goud alleged inadequate response by the police in the incident and demanded a transparent investigation into the incident.
Alleging that the deceased baby's father was attacked in the incident, he also demanded action against the attackers.
Goud told reporters that BJP's state unit president N Ramachander Rao would visit the village on February 24 and meet the baby's family members.
Meanwhile, a BRS delegation met DGP B Shivadhar Reddy and demanded a comprehensive inquiry into the incident.
The BRS leaders sought action against a person who allegedly attacked the infant's parents.
BC associations have held protests over the past few days regarding the alleged caste discrimination against the deceased infant's family members.
Police said on Sunday that four persons were arrested in connection with the cases registered after the family alleged that the baby died following an "assault" by a group of villagers. The family also alleged that they were abused in the name of caste in the incident on February 18.
However, a villager, part of the group, lodged a counter-complaint with the police the same day, alleging that he was attacked with stones during a scuffle with the family, sustaining a head injury, following which a case was registered.
The infant died on February 21 and her mother, who belongs to an SC community, also lodged a complaint alleging her daughter died due to the physical assault on the family by some villagers, police said.
