How can Bharat Summit bring investment if Rahul says India is run by fascists: Kishan | Hyderabad News
Hyderabad: Union minister G Kishan Reddy questioned how the Bharat Summit could attract foreign investment to Telangana when Rahul Gandhi describes India as being run by fascists. He termed the event an “anti-Bharat summit”.Addressing a news conference at the Telangana BJP office, Kishan said chief minister A Revanth Reddy claims the summit will bring investment, but asked who would invest in a country when its own opposition leader describes it as undemocratic. “If you invite anti-India forces to the summit as delegates and say the govt is run by fascists, how will investments come?” he asked.Kishan questioned who organised the Bharat Summit, who funded it, which countries’ delegates were invited and what Telangana’s people stood to gain from it. He said even the delegates might not know the answers.Rejecting Rahul’s description of India as fascist, Kishan said it was the Congress leadership that had ruled in a dictatorial manner during the Emergency and imprisoned crores of activists and political leaders, including LK Advani, Jayaprakash Narayan and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He claimed there had been no major communal clashes or terror attacks since the BJP came to power.The Union minister said investments were reaching all states, with lakhs of crores being invested due to a congenial national political scenario. According to him, the concept of an investment summit was introduced by Narendra Modi during his tenure as Gujarat chief minister and is now followed by almost every state.He alleged that Rahul had tarnished India’s image by describing the recent Union and Maharashtra elections as fraudulent before foreign audiences. He further claimed that “Tukde Tukde” gangs had been invited to the summit.The Union minister also said a foreign journalist critical of the Prime Minister had been denied a visa and that India should not invite those who insult its institutions. He alleged that the Congress had once urged the United States to deny Modi a visa when he was the chief minister of Gujarat.Responding to the chief minister’s remark that he was the Prime Minister’s “slave”, Kishan said Cabinet colleagues work together in accordance with the Constitution and that he did not carry “suitcases” to Delhi every week like Revanth. He said the people would soon bring about real change in Telangana, beyond the Congress and the BRS.
