KTR Slams Congress Over Unfulfilled Guarantees, Demands Answers from Rahul Gandhi

BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) has demanded that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi explain the status of the six guarantees, 420 promises and 13 declarations made by the Congress ahead of the Telangana Assembly elections. In a post on social media platform X, KTR strongly criticised the Congress government, describing its election manifesto, ‘Abhaya Hastham’, as a bundle of false promises. He alleged that the government had promised to allocate a budget of ₹1 lakh crore for Backward Classes (BCs), but had spent less than ₹5,000 crore over the past three years.

KTR further alleged that the Congress had failed to implement its promises of providing BCs with 42 per cent representation in education, employment and government contracts, and allocating a 31 per cent share of government contracts to SCs and STs. He also questioned the non-implementation of the ₹12 lakh Ambedkar Abhaya Hastham scheme for poor SC and ST families and the ₹5 lakh Vidya Bharosa Card for students. On employment, he claimed that against the promise of providing two lakh jobs within 365 days, only 10,000 jobs had been given. He also alleged that the government had promised ₹4,000 crore for minorities but allocated less than ₹1,000 crore. KTR accused the Congress of betraying the people of Telangana.
