"congress-government"

Karnataka Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi’s comments that any trouble to CM Siddaramaiah would have a cascading effect on the Congress govt in Telangana, has now triggered discussions in political circles and general public here.

Before coming to power, the Congress party promised to give house sites to activists who took part in 1969 statehood agitation and to solve other problems faced by them

In a letter to Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, Harish Rao criticized the government for endangering the future of 25,000 students across 150 BAS institutions. He pointed out that pending dues and first-term scholarships have not been released, even three months into the 2024-25 academic year.

The Congress government in Telangana found itself in an embarrassing situation after launching a new emblem for the Sports Authority of Telangana that was discovered to be a freely available image downloaded from the internet.

The financial prudence of the previous BRS government maintained a revenue surplus budget for most financial years, except for three years affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Congress government should give clarity on the farm loan waiver. It cheated the farmers by not waiving off the loans fully," says Union Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy

The Congress had also found fault with the location of the Yadadri plant, saying that it was far from coal mines which could lead to coal transport costs of over Rs.800 crore per annum, and went to the extent of terming the project unviable.

Raising slogans, they demanded the State government to waive farm loans up to Rs 2 lakh of all farmers without any conditions

"Choose the place, date, and time," Harish Rao challenged the Chief Minister. Speaking to the media on Saturday, the former Minister suggested visiting either his or the Chief Minister's constituency—or any other—to openly discuss facts and figures. He criticized the Revanth Reddy government for making false claims about the crop loan waiver.

BRS leader T Harish Rao said the farm loan waiver programme was reduced to a farce. Revanth had proved once again to be falling short in the stature and sincerity to his commitment that was expected from a Chief Minister.

The BRS is keen to approach the Supreme Court regarding the other BRS MLAs, who defected to Congress.

He noted that accumulating such a large debt in a short period is unprecedented in Telangana's history and warned that if this trend continues, the state's debt could reach Rs 4-5 lakh crore by the end of the Congress government's term.

BRS working president K T Rama Rao wondered why the Congress government was hesitant to order an independent probe by a sitting High Court Judge.

Harish Rao strongly criticized the government for failing to address the needs of gram panchayats and challenged the Minister to identify any falsehoods. He questioned whether it was true that the State government had not released monthly allocations to the gram panchayats even after nine months in office.

Praveen Kumar said the Revanth Reddy government was eroding the rights of the unemployed, in sharp contrast with former chief Minister KCR who brought GO 55, which aimed to ensure fair representation of all quotas in Group-1.

While previous governments have implemented the LRS on many occasions in the past, the Congress is looking at generating nearly twice the income of the previous government from the scheme.
