BRS to begin grassroots meetings to highlight Congress failures ahead of local body polls

With local body elections approaching, BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Monday called for a State-wide campaign targeting the Congress government over what he termed its failure to fulfil electoral promises made over the last 20 months. To galvanise the party cadre, he announced the launch of constituency-level meetings for key party activists beginning this week.

In a statement, Rama Rao instructed party leaders to focus on unfulfilled assurances to farmers, non-implementation of Rythu Bharosa, and continuing shortages of urea, fertilisers and seeds, besides lapses in irrigation and power supply. He urged leaders to expose the Congress government’s failure to deliver on promises made to various sections of society.

He alleged that due to the inefficiency of the Revanth Reddy government, rural administration and sanitation systems were crumbling. He emphasised the need to highlight the Congress



government’s failure to honour its own commitments, including increased Aasara pensions, financial support to women, and 42 per cent reservations for BCs.

District party presidents have been assigned the responsibility of coordinating the meetings, which will involve BRS MLAs, MPs, MLCs, Zilla Parishad chairpersons and senior leaders. They were asked to prepare thoroughly for the local body elections, especially in light of the court-imposed deadline to complete the electoral process by September 30.

Rama Rao stressed the importance of robust public awareness campaigns to expose what he described as the Congress regime’s corrupt and undemocratic practices. He urged party workers to remind people of BRS’s continuous agitations over the past 20 months and the Congress government’s failure to sincerely implement its promises, including the 42 per cent BC reservations, accusing it of using ordinances to mislead the public.
