Telangana BJP has intensified its campaign against what it calls the Congress government’s “anti-people policies”, announcing a series of protests in the coming week, including a two-day fast demanding the scrapping of the controversial 22-A land regulations.State BJP president N. Ramchander Rao said that BJP Legislature Party leader Aleti Maheshwar Reddy would lead a two-day protest fast at Dharna Chowk on September 5 and 6, seeking withdrawal of the 22-A provisions. The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) will hold a separate protest at the same venue on September 7, demanding the immediate release of pending student fee reimbursement dues.Addressing party cadres after Girivardhan Reddy assumed charge as president of the BJP’s Medchal-Malkajgiri urban district unit on Sunday, Mr. Rao launched a sharp attack on the Revanth Reddy government, alleging that it was attempting to “brazenly loot” Hyderabad through its policies.The proposed Core Urban Region (CURE)initiative, which involves amendments to the GHMC Act, would diminish the role of corporators and strip the Mayor of key powers, effectively concentrating authority in the hands of the Chief Minister, he claimed.According to the BJP leader, the proposal would also impose an additional tax burden on common citizens and the middle class. He further alleged that people were living in fear due to the demolition drives undertaken by HYDRAA.Mr. Rao also accused the government of converting industrial and other lands into real estate ventures and selling public land. He alleged that commissions paid by builders and realtors had risen to 30%, compared with 15% during the previous BRS regime.Claiming that the country’s youth are strongly backing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s development agenda, the BJP leader said that the party fully supports the Prime Minister’s call for a “drug-free India”. The State Government has failed to curb the rampant sale of drugs and narcotics as exemplified in the 43% rise in drug-related offences, he added.Malkajgiri MP Eatala Rajender and several other party leaders were present at the programme.
