Former Minister and BRS senior MLA T Harish Rao came down heavily on the Congress government over the steep hike in liquor prices. He charged the Congress for deceiving the people of Telangana

Rajireddy entered politics through the Congress party and served in various positions. He was elected MLA from Uppal in 2009. He did not contest in 2014, instead fielding his brother Bandaru Lakshma Reddy, who lost that election. Lakshma Reddy later contested on a BRS ticket in 2023 and won.

Rao alleged that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy was more focused on the Miss World competition while farmers continued to suffer

Rao, who was on his way to Zaheerabad, promptly halted his vehicle after witnessing the accident. He worked alongside BRS leaders and party members to rescue the injured and quickly arranged transport to shift them to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

He stated that the Congress government had reneged on its promises, pushing degree colleges across the State into financial crisis as fee reimbursement dues soared to Rs 800 crore. The prolonged delay, he noted, has left several institutions struggling, with some suspending admissions and even closing down temporarily.

The former minister questioned whether the government intended to continue the Rythu Bima scheme or whether it was quietly discontinued

Remembering the contributions of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, Harish Rao highlighted that the BRS government officially celebrated Basaveshwara Jayanti, erected a bronze statue on Tank Bund in Hyderabad, and allocated Rs 10 crore for the construction of Basava Bhavan in Kokapet to honour his legacy. He emphasized that the best tribute to Basaveshwara is by following his principles of equality and reform.

Speaking to the media at the venue of Sunday’s massive public meeting, he said the rally was expected to attract huge crowds and highlight the party’s unwavering commitment to Telangana’s development. He stressed that the event would serve as a demonstration of the party’s dedication to the state's progress and the transformation it had achieved during its tenure.

Senior BRS MLA T Harish Rao said the apex court's observations, especially its censure over the use of bulldozers during holidays, exposed the deliberate and dangerous environmental destruction by the Revanth Reddy government.

Calling out Finance Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka’s recent claim in Mancherial that interest-free loans worth Rs.21,000 crore were disbursed to women, Harish Rao termed it a publicity stunt. "As per GO 27, interest-free loans are applicable only up to Rs 5 lakh. Women are still paying interest on the remaining Rs.15 lakh," he said.

After coming to know that crops were damaged in his constituency, Harish Rao spoke to agriculture and horticulture officials and enquired about the extent of the damage the rain had done to farmers

Stating that Revanth Reddy was not being respected neither by the high command nor his own Cabinet, Harish Rao said the Chief Minister owed an apology to the UoH students for for filing false cases against them.

This comes shortly after it was revealed that the State posted zero per cent growth in GST collections for March 2025 compared to the same month last year

When farmers from Chinnakodur approached him in this regard, Rao called the Agriculture Minister and asked him to continue the procurement.
