Hyderabad: BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao on Friday launched a sharp attack on the Congress government, saying its defeat in the Jubilee Hills by-election would signal the start of Telangana’s political reset.
Campaigning for BRS candidate Maganti Sunitha during a roadshow in Shaikpet, KTR accused the ruling Congress of betraying every section of society. He warned that only a complete electoral rejection, including loss of deposit, would compel the party to reflect on its failures.
“In two years, Congress has fulfilled none of its promises,” KTR said. “They came to power by selling dreams and now survive by selling lies.” He alleged that Telangana had become a hub of corruption under Congress rule, citing scams in liquor, land, and government contracts.
Calling the government’s ‘Six Guarantees’ “six grand deceptions,” KTR pointed out that no welfare promise—from pensions and youth allowances to free scooters and drinking water—had been honoured. He accused the Congress of halting festival welfare schemes initiated under KCR’s leadership.
KTR also slammed Chief Minister Revanth Reddy as a “symbol of arrogance,” claiming the government had bulldozed poor people’s homes, stalled real estate, and harmed small traders and auto drivers.
He urged voters to elect Maganti Sunitha with a decisive mandate, saying, “If four lakh voters in Jubilee Hills teach Congress a lesson, four crore Telangana people will benefit.” He added that while voters could accept money from Congress, they should vote for the Car symbol.
“Jubilee Hills will mark BRS’s resurgence and KCR’s return,” KTR declared. “The countdown for this corrupt Congress regime begins now.”
