BRS slams Congress for betraying BCs, urges voters to punish party in Jubilee Hills bypoll
BRS leader and MLC S Madhusudana Chary accused the Congress government of betraying BCs by failing to deliver on its promises, including 42% reservation in local bodies and Rs 20,000 crore for BC welfare. He urged voters to reject Congress in Jubilee Hills.
Hyderabad: Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council S Madhusudana Chary said the Congress government betrayed BCs and failed to implement the promised 42 per cent reservation in local bodies. The Congress was misleading Hyderabad’s voters, he said, urging the people to punish the party in the Jubilee Hills by-election.
At a press meet in Telangana Bhavan on Wednesday, Madhusudhana Chary said the Congress had promised 42 percent reservation for BCs in local bodies and pledged Rs 20,000 crore a year for BC welfare, but failed to deliver them. He argued that 42 percent reservation cannot be implemented without a constitutional amendment and called for pressure at the Centre to secure the quota.
He blamed the Congress government for economic mismanagement, with investors being driven away and public debt piling up to Rs 2.8 lakh crore in less than 23 months. He accused Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of promoting factionalism and said the ruling party had no moral right to seek votes in Jubilee Hills. He dared the Congress to list out its achievements before seeking a vote.
BRS leaders G Devi Prasad, Sumitranand, BRSV president Gellu Srinivas Yadav, and others were present.
