Only BJP can free Telangana from dynastic politics, corruption: Rajeev Chandrasekhar
New Delhi (PTI): The people of Telangana want change and the BJP is the only party that can end corruption and "dynastic politics" of the ruling BRS in the state, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Saturday.
Replying to questions at a press conference at the BJP headquarters here, he said people gave a mandate to the K Chandrashekar Rao-led Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) after the creation of Telangana as a separate state but it has failed to meet their expectations.
"They have only looted (the state). They did nothing in Telangana. Whatever infrastructure development has happened in Telangana, it has been done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Be it roads, hospitals, railway stations, water or electricity, all infrastructure projects have been launched in Telangana by the Modi government," the minister said.
Ten years after its creation, Telangana is set to witness a triangular contest in the upcoming assembly polls with a resurgent Congress and a confident BJP both aiming to dislodge the BRS from power and come at helm.
Voting for 119 assembly seats in Telangana will take place on November 30.
"People struggled for 65 years for a separate state of Telangana for a better future. They never wanted to replace one dynasty with another at the helm, it was never in the equation. But, unfortunately one dynasty came at the helm replacing the other," Chandrasekhar said.
"The People of Telengana do not want dynastic politics of the Congress. They also do not want BRS back in power. They want change in Telangana," he said.
"The BJP is the only party which has supported the Telangana cause since 1997. Therefore, we are the agent of change in Telangana and we are the party which can free Telangana from dynastic politics and corruption forever and bring in development and prosperity in the state," Chandrasekhar said.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
