Hyderabad: Former Minister T Harish Rao slammed the Congress for breaking its promise regarding the Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS), terming it as a habitual practice of the ruling party.

Taking to X, Harish Rao pointed out that the Congress leaders provocated the people against the BRS, with slogans like ‘No LRS – No BRS’. “If the Congress leaders have any sincerity, LRS should be implemented without any fees as per their statements made in the past. Otherwise, I am demanding them to tender an unconditional apology to the people for making a fraudulent promise,” he asserted.
