KTR Accuses Congress of Failing to Deliver on Election Promises, Seeks Answers from Rahul Gandhi

BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao (KTR) has strongly criticised the Congress government in Telangana over what he described as its failure to fulfil election promises. In a post on X, he called the Congress election manifesto, Abhaya Hastham, a collection of false promises and demanded that Rahul Gandhi explain the status of the party's 420 promises, 13 declarations and six guarantees. KTR alleged that the government had failed to deliver on several commitments made to different sections of society.

Listing the promises, KTR claimed that Congress had assured ₹1 lakh crore for the welfare of Backward Classes (BCs), but had spent less than ₹5,000 crore over three years. He also alleged that the promised 42% share for BCs in education, employment and government contracts had not been implemented. According to his post, the ₹12 lakh Ambedkar Abhaya Hastham scheme for poor SC and ST families, and the promised 31% share for SCs and STs in government contracts, had also not materialised. He further claimed that only 10,000 jobs had been provided against the promise of two lakh jobs within 365 days, while the Rajiv Yuva Vikasam scheme and the ₹5 lakh Vidya Bharosa Card had not been implemented. On minority welfare, he alleged that the government had allocated less than ₹1,000 crore against its promise of ₹4,000 crore. KTR concluded by accusing Congress of betraying the people of Telangana. These figures and allegations reflect KTR's claims in his social media post.
