Telangana Information Technology Minister K Tarakarama Rao on Wednesday alleged that the BJP-led NDA Government was continuing the mistakes committed by its predecessor UPA Government.

Speaking to media persons here, KTR said that the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be called as UPA-3 as it has been continuing the wrong policies adopted by the previous regime. He said if the NDA wants to continue the policies of UPA, then what people have gained by voting for a change. Referring to the delegation of special powers to the Governor in Telangana, he said Modi should not repeat the mistake done by Sonia Gandhi. He asked the Telangana BJP to pressurise the Centre to carry out specific amendments in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act to ensure that the law and order powers remains with the State Government. This is the testing time for the BJP to prove its loyalty and honesty towards Telangana State and its people, he said.
