BRS working president says people openly confronting Congress leaders, questioning them about government's six guarantees and other electoral promises

Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao stated that the widespread public outrage at the ongoing Grama Sabhas reflected their discontent against the Congress government in Telangana. He pointed out that people were openly confronting the Congress leaders and questioning them about the government’s six guarantees and other electoral promises.

“In the Grama Sabhas being held across the State, people are questioning the Congress government on its unfulfilled guarantees and expressing frustration. Their anger is palpable as citizens are tearing down tents set up for these meetings and confronting officials as well as the Congress leaders on the electoral promises. It reflects how people are vexed up with the Congress rule,” he said.

Addressing a meeting of BRS leaders from the Satthupalli municipality at Telangana Bhavan on Wednesday, Rama Rao attributed the failures of the Congress government to its inability to sustain the development initiated during former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao’s tenure.

“Under the Chandrashekhar Rao government, villages and towns witnessed unprecedented growth. Once, allocations of Rs 50 lakh to municipalities were viewed as unprecedented. But under the BRS rule, it had become a routine affair, resulting in substantial development initiatives,” he said.

He appreciated the loyalty of Satthupalli’s BRS municipal councilors, noting that 23 were elected under the party banner, with 17 still steadfast with the party. Referring to setbacks in Satthupalli and Khammam constituencies, he vowed to revive the BRS’ dominance and urged leaders to intensify their efforts.

Asserting that the BRS would regain its stronghold, Rama Rao said the party flag would fly high again in Satthupalli. “Let us fight together to make our leader K Chandrashekhar Rao as the Chief Minister once more,” he said, adding that Chandrashekhar Rao would soon chair a meeting with the Satthupalli leaders.
