KTR slams Congress for betraying farmers; questions selective guarantees before local polls

The BRS working president questioned the timing of the Rythu Bharosa rollout for the ongoing Vanakalam (Kharif) season, calling it a tactic to influence the upcoming local body elections while neglecting previous instalments

Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Tuesday said the Congress government was betraying the people of Telangana by failing to fulfil a long list of election promises. He questioned the timing of the Rythu Bharosa rollout for the ongoing Vanakalam (Kharif) season, calling it a tactic to influence the upcoming local body elections while neglecting previous instalments.

Rama Rao termed the release of Rythu Bharosa funds a smokescreen to divert attention from the government’s unkept assurances. “Where is the promised bonus for paddy, financial assistance and one tola gold under Kalyana Lakshmi/Shaadi Mubarak schemes, KCR kits and nutrition kits, Rs 2,500 per month under the Mahalakshmi scheme, electric scooters to young women, Rythu Bima, and the incomplete crop loan waiver?” he asked.

Sharing a government advertisement from a vernacular daily on social media platform X, in which the Congress promised to implement its six guarantees within 100 days, Rama Rao said the party made false promises to win the Assembly elections and then swore by the Gods during the Lok Sabha polls.

“Despite not delivering on the promises, they are now resorting to fresh gimmicks to woo voters ahead of the local polls,” he said.

Stating that Congress leaders were focusing more on securing posts than fulfilling their commitments to the people, he warned that the people of Telangana are closely watching the government’s attempts to repackage old promises without delivering results.
