Hyderabad: BRS Legislature Party deputy leader T Harish Rao termed the party’s victory in over 700 municipal wards as an indication of growing public dissatisfaction against the Congress government in Telangana.
He called the results a clear warning to the Revanth Reddy government, which derailed development and stalled welfare schemes for the last two years.
Congratulating newly elected BRS corporators and councillors, Harish Rao said the party secured victories despite misuse of official machinery, money power and threats by the ruling Congress.
He also lauded party leaders, cadre and social media volunteers for campaigning against the Congress government’s undemocratic and anti-people policies.
The senior BRS MLA said the entire government machinery, including the Chief Minister and the Ministers, was deployed during the elections but could not prevent BRS from registering significant gains.
“Winning over 700 wards is not a coincidence. It shows rising people’s opposition to Congress rule,” he said.
Harish Rao accused the State government of failing to implement its six guarantees and 420 election promises. He said the recent panchayat and municipal election results have declared the BRS to be the principal opposition force and the only party capable of challenging the Congress in future elections.
Stating that the results would boost morale within the party, he said the BRS would continue to hold the Congress government accountable on people’s issues, forcing it to implement its election promises.
