Hyderabad, Oct 2 (PTI) Senior BJP leader and Union Minister Smriti Irani on Saturday slammed the ruling TRS in Telangana over its "unkept promises" at a public meeting, organised to mark the conclusion of the first phase of "padayatra" by state BJP president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar.

Irani, who was the chief guest at the meeting held at Husnabad in Siddipet district, recalled that the Telangana agitation was mainly fought for "water, funds for development and jobs".

But the people of the state were left disappointed now, she alleged.

The TRS" promises of monthly financial assistance to unemployed youth, celebration of "Telangana Liberation Day" on September 17 (the day of merger of erstwhile princely state of Hyderabad with the Indian Union in 1948) have not not been implemented, she said.

Irani alleged that the Liberation Day was not celebrated out of fear of AIMIM, which has said that the steering of the car (TRS poll symbol) is in its hands.

TRS could not provide houses to the poor as promised in its manifesto, but the Modi government got houses built for two crore people under the "PM Awas Yojana", she said.
