KTR demands Revanth Reddy to apologise for administrative failures

BRS working president KT Rama Rao accused Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of pushing Telangana into financial and agrarian crisis, demanding a public apology. He alleged Congress failed to deliver promises, worsened debt, and deliberately restricted fertiliser supplies, calling it anti-farmer

Hyderabad: Holding Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy responsible for financial and agrarian crisis in Telangana, BRS working president KT Rama Rao demanded him to tender a public apology for the complete administrative failure of the Congress government. He said the Congress betrayed people’s trust and pushed a progressive State like Telangana into turmoil, due to inefficiency.

Welcoming several Congress leaders and cadre from the erstwhile Nizamabad district into the BRS fold at former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao‘s Erravelli residence on Friday, Rama Rao said the Congress had neither implemented its pre-poll promises nor continued the flagship welfare schemes of the previous BRS government. “In just 21 months, the government has lost people’s faith. Instead of governance, the Chief Minister spends his time chanting KCR’s name at every possible occasion. Arrogance and reckless statements have only alienated the public,” he said.

The BRS working president declared that byelections are inevitable in 10 Assembly constituencies within six months, notwithstanding the delay tactics deployed by the Congress in disqualification of the turncoat MLAs. He cited Supreme Court directives on disqualification of defectors, in this regard. “Speaker’s silence won’t save Pocharam Srinivas Reddy and any other turncoat MLA. Banswada voters will ensure his defeat. If needed, we will once again approach the Supreme Court for justice,” he declared.

Rama Rao also tore into the government’s fiscal management and its false narrative that the previous BRS government pushed the State into debt trap. Instead, he said the situation was completely opposite. “Our government borrowed Rs 2.80 lakh crore over a decade and created landmark development projects and implemented welfare schemes. But the current Congress government borrowed over RsS 2.2 lakh crore within 21 months i.e. around Rs 20,000 crore every month, without a single programme to show,” he said.

On the fertiliser crisis, the former Minister accused the Congress of deliberately restricting urea supply to avoid crop procurement and bonus payouts. “This is not inefficiency but a conspiracy against farmers. This government has an anti-farmer mindset,” he charged.

The BRS leader said Telangana, once a model State, was handed over to the Congress on a golden platter, only to be dismantled by failed policies.

The event saw large-scale joinings from the Congress, with senior leaders and grassroots representatives, including MPTCs Forum State vice-president Yelamanchili Srinivas, former Kotagiri MPTC Vallepalli Srinivas, former Banswada ZPTC Narla Ratna Kumar, and several former sarpanches, into the BRS fold, in the presence of Rama Rao.
