UPA economic policies are faulty: BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today squarely blamed the policies pursued by the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government at the Centre for alarming levels of poverty in the country.

Addressing a selective gathering at Karimnagar town in the North Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh, national president of the BJP Nitin Gadkari said that due to the faulty policies of the UPA Government, particularly in the economic front, poverty in the country had reached alarming proportions. The wrong strategies had seriously hampered growth and had hit all sections of society, Gadkari felt. He called for immediate corrective measures to bring the country’s finances onto the track.
 The BJP chief was careful enough not to touch any scams the UPA Government is facing but said that the ‘ineffective’ policies of the Centre are seriously hitting the economic growth of the country. “Growing levels of poverty is a grave concern to the parties now,” he observed.
The Andhra Pradesh Government had miserably failed to properly utilize the Godavari waters due to which the Telangana region had remained backward even after so many years of Independence, the BJP chief remarked. He called for judicious utilization of the Godavari river waters in order to bring the barren lands in the North Telangana districts under cultivation and increase the financial strength of the people in the area.
President of the State unit of the BJP Kishen Reddy alleged that the State Government is adopting an indifferent attitude towards the problems in the North Telangana districts. He wanted the Kirankumar Reddy Government to prepare a comprehensive action plan for the overall growth of the region.
The BJP leaders took part in a programme got up at the Martyrs Memorial Research Institute at Padmanayaka Kalyana Mantapam in Karimnagar to debate on the problems faced by the people of the North Telangana districts.
