Hold assembly session to discuss Cong poll promises: Kavitha to CM
Hyderabad: Telangana Jagruthi President Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Wednesday dared Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to hold an Assembly session to discuss the Congress party's unfulfilled promises.
On Wednesday, thousands of postcards were sent to Sonia Gandhi over non-implementation of Rs 2,500 for women and increased pensions for elderly, persons with disabilities and widows, as a part of a postcard campaign launched by MLC K Kavitha. Speaking after a protest at the General Post Office at Abids, MLC Kavitha said referring to Chief Minister remarks over BRS Supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao, 'If you ask the original Congress leaders, they'll tell you KCR's true strength. Revanth Reddy should remember that he is Chief Minister today because KCR fought and achieved Telangana.'
Kavitha criticized Revanth Reddy for allegedly inviting Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu to Praja Bhavan, offering him Hyderabadi biryani, and gifting him Godavari water, suggesting it undermines Telangana's interests. She asserted that KCR would never intentionally harm Telangana.
Kavitha dismissed Revanth Reddy's claims about the Polavaram-Banavathcherla link project, stating it was not even mentioned in 2016. She accused him of habitual lying and spreading false propaganda to divert public attention from the implementation of promises. She advised Revanth Reddy to act with the decorum expected of a Chief Minister. She also warned that the public would not forgive the Congress if it proceeds with local body elections without providing 42 per cent reservation for BCs.
Kavitha reiterated that people believed the Congress and voted them into power because Sonia Gandhi personally came to Telangana and made promises before the elections. She urged Sonia Gandhi to direct Revanth Reddy to immediately implement the promised Rs 2,500 monthly aid for women, Rs 4,000 for elderly, widows, beedi workers, and other pension beneficiaries, and Rs 6,000 for persons with disabilities. She stated that thousands of postcards are being sent to Sonia Gandhi for this very purpose.
Kavitha highlighted that 18 months have passed since the Congress came to power in the state, yet not a single promise has been fulfilled. She accused the Congress of deceiving the public by distributing guarantee cards signed by Sonia Gandhi to every household before the elections.

Congress Fury Over BJP's "Indira Gandhi Equals Hitler" Emergency Shocker
New Delhi: Karnataka Congress leader S Manohar, the General Secretary of the party's state unit, has filed a police case against the Bharatiya Janata Party after an outrageous social media post about former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the Emergency imposed by her government from 1975 to 1977. The BJP's post, shared on X, featured an AI-generated video of Indira Gandhi but with a toothbrush moustache, a style now indelibly associated with Adolf Hitler. The 37-second video begins with the AI-Indira Gandhi stating 'I declare Emergency and take the country under my control'. The AI narrator then proclaims June 25, the day the Emergency notification was issued, as 'the night India lost its voice (and) democracy (was) buried'. "... fear ruled the streets, the press was silenced and leaders were jailed... freedom was stolen and curfews were forced... a nation watched helpless'. 'For 21 months, darkness reigned. This was our warning. Never forget, never again.' The video was posted with the note: "INDIRA DOES NOT EQUAL INDIA, INDIRA EQUALS HITLER". INDIRA = INDIA❌ INDIRA = HITLER ✅ — BJP Karnataka (@BJP4Karnataka) June 26, 2025 The Congress leader's FIR has condemned the BJP's post as disrespectful not only towards Indira Gandhi but also meant to provoke hatred between different religious gourps and communities. Mr Manohar has demanded legal action against the BJP's social media handle. 'Suspended Democracy' The BJP's main X handle posted a similar video, calling the Emergency a "Hitlerian vestige... in a saree." Another AI-generated effort, the 12-second clip showed Mrs Gandhi in a saree at a podium. As the clip plays Mrs Gandhi shadow morphs into that of Hitler and the background turns dark red. Indira's Emergency was no accident — it was Hitlerian vestige of the past, dressed in a saree. #SamvidhanHatyaDiwas — BJP (@BJP4India) June 25, 2025 Every year since the BJP came to power at the centre - riding on the back of a 'Congress-mukt Bharat' plan - the Emergency has been a flashpoint between it and the opposition party, with the BJP maximising its attacks to counter the Congress' criticism about subversion of the Constitution. That the BJP plans on changing the Constitution to remove, among other things, India's secular nature, was a key issue raised by the opposition while campainging for the 2024 Lok Sabha election. Last year Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the BJP's charge. " Dark days of the Emergency remind us of how the Congress subverted basic freedoms and trampled over the Constitution of India, which every Indian respects greatly," the Prime Minister had said on X. "To cling on to power, the Congress disregarded every democratic principle and made the nation a jail... those who imposed Emergency have no right to profess love for the Constitution." This year too Mr Modi and senior BJP leaders, including Home Minister Amit Shah, launched fierce attacks on the Congress. The Emergency that enforced by a "despotic ruler" was one of the darkest chapters in India's history, Mr Shah said, while BJP chief JP Nadda hailed the PM's contributions. The Congress, meanwhile, as it does every year, has pointed out that while the Emergency was a distressing period, the country has moved on and there are issues to be addressed today. "The PM's sudden interest in the Constitution is only to counter our campaign to protect it. Those who never contributed to the freedom struggle or making of the Constitution are now claiming to defend it," party boss Mallikarjun Kharge said.
