KTR questions Rahul Gandhi over unfulfilled Congress election promises in Telangana
BRS working president KT Rama Rao alleged the Revanth Reddy government has failed to deliver on its manifesto commitments.
BRS working president KT Rama Rao challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday to address the 420 promises, 13 declarations, and six guarantees made during the 2023 Assembly elections. According to Telangana Today, Rao accused the Congress government of betraying various sections of society by failing to meet its electoral assurances.
The BRS leader criticised the 'Abhaya Hastam' manifesto in a post on X, alleging that the Revanth Reddy government has not fulfilled key commitments. Rao claimed that while the Backward Classes (BC) were promised a Rs 1 lakh crore budget, less than Rs 5,000 crore has been allocated over three years. He also noted that the pledged 42 per cent quota for BCs in government contracts, employment, and education remains unfulfilled.
Regarding the SC and ST Declaration, Rao alleged the Ambedkar Abhaya Hastam scheme, which promised Rs 12 lakh to impoverished families, has not been implemented. He further stated that the promised 31 per cent share for these communities in government contracts has not been met.
Rao also targeted employment and student welfare, claiming that only 10,000 jobs were provided despite a pledge for two lakh positions within 365 days. He alleged that the promised Vidya Bharosa Cards, worth Rs 5 lakh for students, have not been distributed. Additionally, he stated that less than Rs 1,000 crore of the promised Rs 4,000 crore for minorities has been allocated.
