Addressing party leaders, he predicted Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s defeat in Kodangal and said public anger was mounting against Congress over unfulfilled promises and developmental neglect.

Hyderabad: Charging the Congress government with betraying the people of the erstwhile Mahabubnagar district by sidelining the nearly completed Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme, BRS working president KT Rama Rao predicted a complete rout for Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy in Kodangal and the Congress party across the State in next Assembly elections.

Addressing a review meeting with BRS leaders from the undivided Mahabubnagar district on Sunday, Rama Rao said people have become increasingly disillusioned with the Congress government. He accused the government of prioritising commissions and contracts over irrigation needs.

“The decision to keep the Palamuru-Rangareddy project on the back burner had deprived lakhs of acres of agricultural land of irrigation benefits. The Congress government has failed to complete projects crucial to the district’s growth while focusing on political considerations,” he said.

The BRS working president asserted that Revanth Reddy, who frequently identifies himself as a son of Palamuru, has failed to deliver on the district’s aspirations. He predicted that the Chief Minister would face defeat in Kodangal and would be held responsible for unfulfilled promises and developmental neglect.

Recalling the BRS government’s tenure, he said Mahabubnagar had transformed from a drought-prone and migration-hit district into one witnessing growth across sectors. He credited former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao with bringing irrigation, infrastructure and welfare initiatives to the region.

The BRS working president acknowledged that the party failed to communicate its developmental achievements during the previous elections effectively. However, he said people were now reassessing the contrast between the BRS and Congress administrations.

He urged party leaders to aggressively expose the Congress government’s failures while taking the BRS development narrative to the grassroots.

During the meeting, Rama Rao reviewed organisational activities, constituency-level programmes, preparations for voter list revision, and the upcoming party membership drive. He instructed leaders to strengthen the party booth-wise and village-wise ahead of future elections.

Based on feedback from local leaders, he stated that public anger against the Congress government was growing across sections and exuded confidence that the BRS would register a clean sweep in the erstwhile Mahabubnagar district in the next elections
