BRS MLCs staged a protest on the Legislative Council premises on Friday, slamming the Congress government for massive borrowings with no visible development. Holding placards that read “Debt is huge, development is zero” and raising slogans against the Congress government, they questioned the government’s poor handling of public funds.
The MLCs demanded answers on how many women received Rs 2,500, how many young women were given scooties, how many brides got one tola gold, and how many elderly received Rs 4,000 pensions – all electoral promises, out of the Rs 1.58 lakh crore debts raised by the Congress government over the past 15 months.
