BJP, Cong centralising powers: Chandrasekhar Rao

TRS President K Chandrasekhar Rao alleged on Thursday both the BJP and Congress indulged in centralisation of power at the cost of ignoring interests of the states.

The caretaker Telangana Chief Minister urged the people to vote his party back to power in the December seven assembly elections and also make it victorious in next year's Lok Sabha polls to make the Centre agree to the state's demands.

Addressing campaign meetings at Ichhoda, Nirmal, Armoor, Khanapur and Bhainsa, Rao said the NDA government did not cooperate though the state government had sent assembly resolutions seeking increase in reservation for Scheduled Tribes and Muslims.

"The Centre has kept with it (resolutions). That's why I appeal to you. The Congress or BJP, they don't solve these problems. They cannot do it. They don't want to do it. All power should be centralised in Delhi, wield influence (on states). That is the attitude of these parties," he said
