Revanth Reddy turned Telangana into ATM for AICC: KTR

BRS working president K T Rama Rao accused Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of diverting Telangana’s resources to the Congress leadership in Delhi. He alleged failure to implement welfare promises, rising debt and misuse of public funds, and urged people to remain vigilant

Hyderabad: K T Rama Rao, working president of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), came down heavily on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, criticising him for turning Telangana into an ATM for the All India Congress Committee (AICC). He said the State’s resources were being diverted to meet the expenses of the Congress leadership in Delhi, which was acknowledged by the Chief Minister himself by stating that Telangana Congress was capable of sending Rs 1,000 crore to the Gandhi family during a recent party leaders’ meeting.

In a sharp retort, Rama Rao said the Congress government had failed to implement 420 promises made to farmers, women, youth, employees and pensioners, citing a lack of funds. He pointed out that while welfare schemes were stalled, the government had raised nearly Rs 3 lakh crore in debt over two years without visible development.

“Not a single project has been initiated in the last two years despite huge loans. Instead, Telangana people’s money is being diverted to fund Congress activities across the country,” he added.

The BRS working president charged the regime with misusing public money and weakening Telangana’s financial position. He stated that the Anumula brothers were resorting to large-scale land irregularities in the State. He said that under the guise of Musi beautification, houses of the poor were being targeted. He added that tribal lands in Lagacherla and lands belonging to the University of Hyderabad were also being affected.

Alleging misuse of industrial land policies, he accused the government of facilitating private interests at the cost of public resources. He said the current dispensation was functioning with a single agenda of looting Telangana while neglecting development. “Revanth Reddy is working with the sole agenda of looting Telangana, pocketing commissions and also carrying money bags to Delhi to safeguard his post,” he said, urging people to remain vigilant against diversion of State funds and erosion of Telangana’s interests.
