Hyderabad: BRS Working President KTR announced a week-long protest campaign against the Congress government from September 2. The party plans to highlight what it calls governance failures and unfulfilled promises.
KTR held a teleconference with senior BRS leaders, elected representatives and state committee officials on Sunday. He directed party leaders to organise programmes across Telangana during the week.
The BRS leader accused the Congress government of failing to fulfil its election promises. He also alleged that the government had not implemented its six guarantees within 100 days as promised.
KTR asked party leaders to explain these issues to people across different sections of society. He also called for programmes focused on problems affecting farmers, students, women, youth and other communities.
The proposed campaign will focus on public issues rather than only repeating election promises. KTR asked leaders to identify specific problems and compare the Congress government’s promises with its performance.
He also proposed using “arrears cards” to highlight pending benefits promised to different sections. These cards would show alleged dues related to farmers, agricultural workers, senior citizens, students, youth and women.
KTR BRS protests to focus on community-specific issues
KTR asked party leaders to hold separate programmes for auto drivers, women, tribals, Dalits, BCs, government employees and retired employees. He said each programme should address the concerns of the respective group.
The BRS leader specifically raised the issue of student fee reimbursement. He alleged that more than Rs. 12,000 crore in fee reimbursements remained unpaid and urged leaders to discuss the matter with students and their parents.
KTR also referred to employment issues affecting young people. He said BRS leaders should again explain the party’s allegations about unfulfilled job-related promises during the proposed campaign.
The BRS leader asked party workers not to restrict the campaign to conventional protest programmes. Instead, he suggested meetings and activities tailored to different communities and their concerns.
He also called for programmes at constituency, mandal, village and ward levels. MPs, MLAs, MLCs, party general secretaries, constituency in-charges and former public representatives were asked to participate.
KTR placed particular emphasis on social media outreach to younger audiences. He asked party leaders to use innovative digital campaigns to present the BRS’s criticism of the Congress government.
The week-long campaign will also address allegations involving corruption, land issues, governance failures and resource exploitation. These remain political allegations made by the BRS and were not independently established in the source.
KTR urged BRS cadres across Telangana to participate in the campaign. The party plans to use the programmes to present its assessment of the Congress government’s performance to the public.
