Hyderabad: Union Minister of State for Home Affairs and Karimnagar BJP MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar said Chief Minister Revanth Reddy excelled at speeches but failed to address Telangana’s financial distress. He said the long-pending dearness allowance (DA) for government employees exposed the government’s neglect.
Speaking after inaugurating the BJP election campaign by hoisting the party flag at Shantinagar in Sircilla district, Sanjay said the government announced only one DA instalment under pressure. He asserted that concern for employees played no role in the decision.
According to him, six DA instalments remain pending. This, he said, clearly reflects the severity of Telangana’s economic crisis.
Sanjay demanded that the Indian National Congress government publicly admit the state’s alarming financial condition. He warned that any court case over the pending DA would land the government in serious legal trouble.
Congress’s guarantees are questioned amid the pending DA Telangana crisis
The BJP MP said two years have passed since Congress came to power in Telangana. Yet, he claimed, none of its six guarantees is fully implemented.
He questioned whether women receive ₹2,500 per month, whether older people get ₹4,000 as a pension, or whether unemployed youth receive ₹4,000 as promised.
Sanjay also asked if the government had given even one house to beneficiaries. He alleged that Congress now tries to lure voters by distributing ₹5,000 during elections.
Referring to the previous decade of Bharat Rashtra Samithi rule, he said that the government too failed to fulfil promises. Voting for BRS, he remarked, proved no different.
Finally, Sanjay warned voters against selling their votes for cash. He said doing so would damage public interest for the next five years and urged people to hold both parties accountable.
