The Congress government’s flagship events, the Bharat Summit, Miss World pageant and Gaddar Film Awards, have sparked controversies ranging from diplomatic blunders to cultural insensitivity. Critics accuse the government of misplaced priorities amid financial distress and mounting public welfare demands.
KTR said the Congress government was shameless to claim that the State had no money to fulfill its poll promises, but spent Rs. 29.45 crore for the two-day summit.
The latest controversy arose from a 2.07-minute promotional video shared on the party’s official X handle (formerly Twitter), which featured an incorrect depiction of India’s map. The video aimed to highlight the Revanth Reddy-led Telangana government's caste-based survey and present the State as a model for others to follow.
Instead, the Congress MP gives a speech on democratic politics that has fundamentally changed across the globe, and says the rules that applied a decade ago do not apply anymore
The two-day summit is being hosted by the Samruddha Bharat Foundation, an organisation backed by the Congress party. Around 450 delegates from various countries were expected to attend and engage in discussions on global justice, equity, and progressive cooperation.
A map of India, allegedly shown without PoJK and Ladakh during the summit, has sparked criticism from various quarters. In a video shared on X by Congress MLA Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy, the map appears to exclude both PoJK and Ladakh, raising concerns and backlash
