Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka on Saturday said the Congress government would address public needs on a large scale and ensure welfare reached every section.
He spoke at a public meeting after inaugurating a 33/11 KV power sub-station at Ananth Nagar in the Paleru Assembly constituency. Along with him, Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy laid the foundation stone for another sub-station.
Bhatti Vikramarka said the present government belonged to the people. He added that the administration would pool all resources and distribute every rupee for public benefit, not for rulers or looters.
He said improved facilities and welfare delivery restored public confidence. Because of this, he noted, 65 to 70 per cent of Congress-backed candidates won the recent sarpanch elections, reflecting strong public support.
Bhatti Vikramarka outlines welfare drive, targets past rule
Criticising former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, Bhatti Vikramarka recalled how leaders earlier mocked the Indiramma housing scheme. He said sarcastic remarks questioned space and utility.
He said the previous government ruled for 10 years but failed to provide even one double-bedroom house. In contrast, the Congress government began building Indiramma houses soon after taking office.
Each Indiramma house costs ₹5 lakh, he said. In the first phase, the government sanctioned 3,500 houses in every Assembly constituency.
Across Telangana, this covered 4.5 lakh houses at a cost of ₹22,500 crore. He added that officials clear Indiramma housing bills every week.
Bhatti Vikramarka said Sonia Gandhi granted Telangana statehood so its resources could serve its people. He alleged that earlier rulers mortgaged the state and left a debt of ₹8.5 lakh crore.
He also said the previous government failed to implement welfare measures such as 200 units of free electricity. Recalling the last elections, he said Congress promised effective welfare only under its rule.
He said voters examined that claim and ushered in what he described as “Indiramma Rajyam.” According to him, a decade of past rule damaged finances and governance.
Despite that legacy, Bhatti Vikramarka said, the present government continues to roll out welfare schemes smoothly and keeps public interest first.
He said Telangana now offers farmers both minimum support price and a bonus. He added that the government supplies 6 kg of fine rice per person to 96 lakh families, spending ₹13,500 crore.
