Cong manifesto ‘biggest lie of the century': KTR
Hyderabad: Stating that development in Telangana came to a standstill after the Congress assumed power in 2023, BRS working president KT Rama Rao said that BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao should once again become chief minister to revive the state's progress.
He also criticised the Congress govt for failing to fulfil its promises and described CM A Revanth Reddy as anti-Dalit and anti-Adivasi.
Addressing a Dalit Maha Sabha meeting in Kamareddy on Friday, the BRS working president accused the Congress party of deceiving the public with its manifesto promises during the assembly elections, calling the manifesto "the biggest lie of the century". He claimed that all sections of society in the state were misled and betrayed.
He further alleged that the Congress had failed to implement the Chevella SC-ST Declaration.
"The Congress party promised to increase the Dalit Bandhu scheme to 12 lakh from 10 lakh. It also pledged to allocate 26% of govt contracts to SCs and STs, and to provide 6 lakh to Dalits and STs for house construction on their own land. None of these promises have been fulfilled," KTR said.

He went on to list other unfulfilled commitments, including enhanced pensions, the provision of one tola of gold for girls at the time of marriage, the filling of two lakh govt job vacancies, farm loan waivers, and the Rythu Bharosa scheme, all of which, he claimed, have seen no substantial progress in the past 18 months.
KTR also criticised CM Revanth Reddy for his inability to generate revenue and for failing to ensure the provision of hygienic food and potable water to students in govt residential welfare institutions.
During the event, KTR felicitated a man named Sailu from Lingampet, who was allegedly humiliated at the Ambedkar statue on April 14.
