Change people's lives, not statues: Harish

In an open letter to Rahul Gandhi, Rama Rao asked the AICC leader not to resort to diversionary tactics to cover up the failures of the Congress government.

He also informed Rahul Gandhi that the names of all the government institutions named after Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and other Congress leaders would be changed if BRS is voted back to power. "If possible implement election assurances. Otherwise, tender an apology to the people," he demanded.

Rama Rao wondered why Rahul Gandhi, who toured the state extensively during the Assembly elections, was not visiting the state to ensure implementation of the Congress' election promises.
