"congress"

While discussing the Telangana Panchayat Raj (Amendment) Bill, 2024, Chary highlighted that the Congress had promised to raise BC reservation in local bodies from the current 22 percent to 42 percent upon coming to power. However, he pointed out that the party has yet to take any action towards fulfilling this promise. "During the assembly elections, Congress promised to increase BC reservation to 42 percent in local bodies," he said.

Responding to the statement, Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy accused the BRS government of providing electricity for only 11 to 14 hours a day. He further claimed that the supply was interrupted five to six times daily and stated that he had personally verified the logbooks at the substations to confirm this.

Former Ministers G Jagadish Reddy, Vemula Prashanth Reddy, and Talasani Srinivas Yadav said the government was using false allegations against Rama Rao to divert attention from its unfulfilled promises to the public

Harish Rao expressed his gratitude to Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka for acknowledging that the Congress government had raised Rs.1,27,208 crore in loans during its first year. He further projected that, with the increase in FRBM limits, the Congress government was likely to raise nearly Rs.7 lakh crore in loans.

Responding to speculative reports on Rama Rao's possible arrest, Kavitha stated that the people of Telangana were closely watching the scripted drama by the Congress party, which was desperate to use legal tactics to target the BRS and its supremo K Chandrashekhar Rao, as it could not face the opposition politically.

The BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of pushing the senior member, a charge rejected by the Congress leader.

Displaying a copy of GO Ms 54, issued on June 26 this year, he stated that the Congress government had allocated 400 acres of government land in survey number 25 at Gachibowli village, Serilingampally, to the Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation. This allocation was intended for the development of IT and mixed-use projects and was made at a market rate of ₹75 crore per acre, he explained.

"We have discussed the State finances and loans about eight times. If the House is being run like this, one can imagine how the State administration is being run," Owaisi said

Rama Rao went on to castigate the Congress for its duplicity, with Cabinet Ministers like Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy engaging in alleged land deals with Adani Group representatives in Hyderabad.

"The Congress government has been spreading false accusations against the previous BRS government, especially targeting me, over the Formula-E race. Reports indicate that this matter was discussed for more than an hour in a recent cabinet meeting. Leaks from the Chief Minister’s office suggest that cases are being prepared against our party working president, KT Rama Rao, with the Governor's approval," the BRS stated.

They raised slogans such as 'Jai Bhim', 'Sangh ka Vidhan nahi chalega' and 'Amit Shah maafi maango'. MPs of the Congress, DMK, RJD, the Left, AAP, among others, participated in the protest.

The BRS members were protesting near the well over the inordinate delay in clearing the overseas scholarships even as Panchayat Raj Minister D Anasuya alias Seethakka blamed the previous BRS government for the arrears

Coming down heavily on the Congress government for failing to uphold the seventh guarantee made during the elections to protect democracy, the CPI(M) state unit Secretary Thammineni Veerabhadram on Tuesday wanted the government to address the issues before the people. Otherwise, it would incur ire of the people.

BRS leaders presented a petition to the statue of BR Ambedkar asking the government to change its attitude towards the farmers and to ensure justice to the tribal farmers of Lagacharla

He said while the BJP government at the Centre was steering PSUs towards privatisation, the Congress-led State government proved to be a disaster for all sectors.

In a statement, Harish Rao questioned the Congress government's motive behind posing questions related to Andhra Pradesh, Telugu Desam Party and its president N Chandrababu Naidu in the Group II exam paper conducted on Monday.

Stating that the previous BRS government was committed towards the welfare of BCs, she said there were only 19 BC residential degree colleges at the time of formation of Telangana, which was increased to 275 during the BRS regime.

Prabhakar said the government does not have funds to take up construction of BC Bhavans across the State.

Vijayashanthi recalled that in 2007, the first Telangana Talli statue was unveiled by the Talli Telangana Party, floated by her. In a post on 'X,' she said that BS Ramulu had designed Telangana Talli as the mother of the poor, weak, and marginalised communities.

From the Musi riverfront project to the Metro Rail, the BRS administration left behind a legacy of broken promises and incomplete works, he alleged in the letter.
