Broken promises, old manifestos return to haunt Congress in Telangana

Despite ruling the country for a decade, the Congress never implemented such a scheme for farmers, though it repeated the same promise twice in its manifesto consecutively. The same can be found in the 2004 and 2009 election manifestos of the Congress in their official website.

Hyderabad: In stark contrast to its poll rhetoric revolving around guarantees, the Congress is facing severe criticism for its failure to fulfill its commitments made way back in its election manifestos of 2004 and 2009.

The party’s repeated electoral promise for a ‘Direct Income Support to Farmers’ has become a glaring example of how the Congress has been a disastrous failure in implementing commitments made to farmers.
