Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao criticised the Congress government for allegedly failing to fulfil its electoral promises after coming to power on what he described as false assurances. He expressed confidence that the BRS would return to power in the next Assembly elections.

He was speaking at Telangana Bhavan on the occasion of senior tribal leaders and former elected representatives from Utnoor and Indravelli mandals of Khanapur constituency joining the BRS in the presence of constituency in-charge Bhukya Johnson Naik. Among those who joined the party were Youth Congress Khanapur constituency president and former Kothaguda sarpanch Atram Rahul, former MPTC members, deputy sarpanches and several senior tribal leaders from the Congress and BJP.

Rama Rao said the BRS drew its strength from the people and would continue to fight for their rights, welfare and development. He asked party leaders and workers to remain active on public issues and strengthen the party in Khanapur in coordination with Johnson Naik.

The newly joined leaders alleged that the Congress had raised expectations by making several promises during the Assembly elections but failed to fulfil them after coming to power. They emphasised the need to strengthen the leadership of BRS president and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, who, they said, had safeguarded Telangana’s development and the rights, welfare and self-respect of tribal communities.
