KTR accuses Congress of ‘looting poor, protecting rich’, urges voters to back BRS in Jubilee Hills
BRS working president KT Rama Rao accused the Congress government of looting the poor and shielding the rich, alleging that it failed to deliver on poll promises. Addressing AIMIM leaders joining BRS, he urged voters to support BRS candidate Maganti Sunitha.
Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao launched a scathing attack on the Congress government, accusing it of looting the poor and safeguarding the rich. He said the ruling party corrupted Telangana in just two years and betrayed people with false promises and failed governance.
Addressing a gathering of several AIMIM leaders who were inducted into the BRS at Telangana Bhavan on Friday, Rama Rao said the Congress came to power by making tall promises, from distributing one tola gold, scooters for women, and Rs 4,000 pensions for the elderly, to Rs 2,500 monthly aid for women, but failed to deliver a single one. “They did not give gold or rice. They are looting the poor and protecting the rich,” he said.
He urged voters in Jubilee Hills to act wisely and punish the Congress by electing BRS candidate Maganti Sunitha with a huge majority. He asserted that the BRS victory would send a clear message that people would not be deceived by money or empty promises.
The BRS working president ridiculed the Congress campaign tactics to induce voters, stating that the ruling party was trying to buy votes. He suggested that voters take the money and demand for the remaining balance of the promises made to them by the Congress during the 2023 elections.
“Time has come to confront and question the Congress government. People need not fear the intimidation tactics of the Congress. The BRS will stand with the people in their fight,” he declared.
Terming the byelection as one between “the Car and the Bulldozer”, Rama Rao said the bulldozer symbolised the Congress government that demolished poor people’s homes, but spared those belonging to the rich despite violating the building norms. He asked people to vote for the Car symbol to bring a real solution to the State’s growing discontent.
