BJP's Ramchander Rao Targets Congress Over Ration Cards, Fee Dues

An important politician named N. Ramchander Rao, who leads the BJP in the state of Telangana in India, gave a speech on Independence Day.

He said he was not happy with the state government, which is run by the Congress party.

He said smart ration cards given to families do not show a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He said the central government gives most of the money for the free rice people get, so it should show the Prime Minister's picture.

He also said the government has not paid students nearly 12,000 crore rupees in fee help, which is a very big amount.

He told people that Hyderabad should not be split into three separate civic bodies, because taxes might go up.

He said the older BRS government borrowed too much money, and the new Congress government borrowed even more.

He also listed big projects the central government supported, like railway stations and a university, and said India is now the world's fourth-largest economy.

These are claims made by a leader of one party, and the article does not tell us what the Congress government said in reply.
