KTR pooh poohs PM's `15L to each citizen vow

TAUNTING BJP for its campaign to receive representations from people about their grievances, Telangana's Cabinet Minister KT Rama Rao on Tuesday urged the people to send their applications for Rs 15 lakh as promised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Rama Rao, who is also the working president of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), took to Twitter to take potshots at BJP's State unit campaign launched on Monday.

"I welcome this move of BJP Telangana to invite applications for the ... 15 lakh to each citizen as promised by Hon'ble PM Modi Ji Request all eligible Telangana residents to send their applications to BJP Leaders for receiving this benefit Dhana Dhan into their Jan Dhan accounts..." tweeted KTR.

The TRS leader tagged a tweet by BJP State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar, who launched the campaign at Karimnagar on Monday. The BJP leader wrote that the applications were being received from those who are eligible for availing various state government schemes.

The saffron party launched the drive in a bid to mount pressure on TRS to deliver on its election promises.

After receiving the representations from people, the BJP leaders will submit the same to the state government.
