KCR slams Congress over policy vacuum, farmer distress and economic slide

BRS president and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Sunday tore into the Congress government over its failure to introduce even a single new policy in the two years since coming to power. He charged the Congress with reducing governance to personal abuse and political vendetta.

Addressing a press conference following a joint meeting of the BRS Legislature Party and the party’s State executive committee at Telangana Bhavan, Chandrashekhar Rao said the Congress had exposed the hollowness of its election promises.

“There is no policy or vision. Their only agenda is abusing KCR, even wishing for my death,” he said, charging the government with abandoning governance altogether.

Drawing a sharp contrast with



his tenure, the former Chief Minister said intimidation and violence against opposition workers had become routine under Congress rule, eroding democratic principles.

He said crime rose by 20 per cent as per NCRB data, even as murders and rapes were happening in broad daylight in Hyderabad, without any concrete action or accountability.

On welfare and agriculture, Chandrashekhar Rao charged the Congress with stalling existing schemes while failing to roll out new ones. He said two installments of Rythu Bandhu and months of pensions were skipped, paddy procurement had collapsed and cotton farmers were left to private traders. He pointed out that long queues for fertiliser had returned, forcing farmers and their families to wait days for supplies.
