BRS to introduce Private Member Bill in Assembly to give legal status to Congress Six Guarantees

KT Rama Rao, working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), on Tuesday announced that the party would introduce a Private Member Bill during the forthcoming budget session of the Telangana Legislative Assembly to expose what he termed the Congress government’s betrayal of the people of Telangana and to demand legal backing for the six guarantees promised during the elections.

Addressing a press conference after a joint orientation meeting of BRS MLAs and MLCs here, Rama Rao said the Indian National Congress had come to power by promising six guarantees to the people of the State but had failed to honour those commitments. Congress leaders had publicly promised that legal status would be given to the six guarantees in the very first Cabinet



meeting after coming to power, but the government had failed to fulfil that promise even after two and a half years, he said.

He added that the proposed Private Member Bill was intended to hold the Congress government accountable and ensure that the guarantees promised to the people, including benefits for women, elderly citizens, persons with disabilities, students and farmers, are implemented in a legally binding manner. Through the bill, the BRS would expose the Congress party’s failure to implement its promises, including commitments reiterated by senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, he said, calling upon Congress MLAs to support the bill in the Assembly if they were genuinely committed to fulfilling the promises made to the people.
