Priyank Kharge slams Bommai over entrepreneur's grievances as Telangana Min offer him to move to Hyd
KTR said Hyd provides better physical, social infrastructure, asking startups to move from B'luru
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Minister and senior Congress leader Priyank Kharge on Saturday took note of the grievances reported by entrepreneur Ravish Naresh about the inconveniences start-ups face in Bengaluru (known as India’s Silicon Valley), and slammed Karnataka CM and his party for focusing on communal issues rather than focusing on growth and development.
Taking to his Twitter handle, Kharge posted screenshots of entrepreneur Ravish Naresh’s tweet and Telegana Minister KTR Rao’s reply to Naresh suggesting he move to Hyderabad which he said provides “better physical infrastructure and equally good social infrastructure”.
“Startups in HSR/Koramangala (India’s Sillicon Valley) are already generating billions of $ of taxes. Yet we have v bad roads, almost daily power cuts, poor quality water supply, unusable foot paths. Many rural ares now have better basic infra than India’s Sillicon Valley” (SIC) Naresh had stated in his tweet.
Replying to the tweet, KTR Rao had written “Pack your bags and move to Hyderabad! We have better physical infrastructure & equally good social infrastructure. Our airport is 1 of the best & getting in & out of city is a breeze. More importantly our Govt’s focus is on 2 i Mantra; innovation, infrasdtructure & inclusive growth” (SIC).
Kharge took a sly dig at the CM and his party adding “A few more economic jihads from your party will ensure that we neither get investments or jobs.” Taking a dig at BJP General Secretary CT Ravi’s remark on halal meat calling it to be “Economic Jihad” by Muslim traders.
“Congratulations. We now have our neighbour telling startups to move to Hyderabad for not only better infrastructure, but also better “social” infrastructure. A few more economic jihads from your party will ensure that we neither get investments nor jobs,” Kharge wrote in his tweet tagging CM’s official handle.
Congratulations @CMofKarnataka we now have our neighbor telling startups to move to Hyderabad for not only a better infrastructure, but also a better “social” infrastructure.
