. “The previous Congress regime is to be blamed for creating a mess in the state.

He was joined by Union minister of state for finances and corporate affairs Anurag Thakur.

Replying to another question on Hyderabad gangrape and murder, he said the incident was shocking and there was a need to curb such heinous crimes.

He also inaugurated inspection hut of irrigation and public health department and office building of commandant home guards constructed at the cost of 1.32 crore and 1.57 crore, respectively.
