Hyderabad: Former minister T. Jeevan Reddy said on Tuesday that the Jagtial rally success of BRS chief K. Chandrashekar Rao reflected strong public support and a renewed demand for political change.
Speaking in Hyderabad and Jagtial, he described the public meeting as a massive success. He said the gathering carried the spirit of the Telangana movement and showed growing public sentiment.
He then targeted Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. He accused the Congress government of failing to implement key promises. These included delays in the Rythu Bandhu scheme and the proposed Rs.2,500 monthly assistance for women.
He also alleged neglect of the education sector. No review meetings had been conducted so far, he said. According to him, this reflected a lack of focus on governance.
Jeevan Reddy further criticised the Chief Minister’s remarks. He called the rhetoric undignified and said it showed an inability to accept KCR’s continued popularity. He also accused the government of misleading people under the ‘Praja Palana’ banner.
He said farmers were facing hardships across the state. Welfare systems, including Gurukul institutions, were weakening, he added. He also referred to past controversies involving the Chief Minister and alleged external political influence.
Jagtial rally success and criticism of Congress rule
Jeevan Reddy said the Jagtial rally success underlined public dissatisfaction with the Congress government. He said several welfare measures had slowed down despite earlier assurances.
He reiterated that farmers and students were facing difficulties. He added that the government must address these concerns instead of focusing on political exchanges.
