BRS Working President KT Rama Rao (KTR) has launched a fresh attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, questioning the Telangana government’s failure to fulfil its election manifesto commitments and demanding answers on the party’s 420 promises, 13 declarations and six guarantees.
In a strongly worded post on X, KTR challenged Rahul Gandhi to explain the status of the promises made by Congress ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections, amid his Hyderabad visit.
Describing the Congress election manifesto, Abhaya Hastam, as a series of unfulfilled assurances, KTR remarked, “Lies, damned lies, and then there is the Congress election
manifesto Abhaya Hastam.”
The BRS leader cited several key promises relating to Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, unemployed youth, students and minorities, alleging that the Revanth Reddy government had failed to translate its electoral assurances into concrete benefits.Referring to the BC Declaration, KTR said Congress had promised a budget allocation of Rs 1 lakh crore for Backward Classes.
However, he alleged that the government had provided less than Rs 5,000 crore over three years. He also questioned the failure to implement the promised 42 per cent reservation for BCs in education, employment and government contracts.
