BRS Working President and former minister K T Rama Rao has demanded Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi to apologise to the people of Telangana for causing 10 years of destruction in a single year. In his open letter addressed to Rahul Gandhi, ahead of the latter’s visit to Telangana, he lamented that the Congress government has been pushing the State into a crisis with hollow promises.
KTR held Rahul Gandhi and the Congress leadership accountable for Telangana’s decline, asserting that their promises were nothing but betrayal of Telangana people. He demanded that Rahul Gandhi apologise to the people for leaving Telangana in a financial and social crisis, daring him to face the public and acknowledge his party’s failures, rather than hiding in Gandhi Bhavan.
KTR blamed that the Congress government for deceiving the people of Telangana, with its six guarantees and 420 promises. “After 300 days in power, the Congress delivered almost nothing but disappointment,” he added, pointing out that only the single promise of free bus for women had been implemented out of all the promises made.
He alleged that farmers, the unemployed, students, police, government employees, handloom workers, and auto drivers have all been forced to hit the streets and protest under the Congress regime. Citing an alarming rise in suicides among struggling farmers and artisans, he said the Congress government’s policies have thrown the lower classes onto the streets.
He lambasted Telangana Congress leaders, including Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, for evading responsibility and misleading the public. He stated that the Congress exploited the people’s trust, with no loan waivers for farmers, no promised bonuses, and no progress in agriculture or public welfare.
“Your Chief Minister imposed an unending ‘RR tax’ on people, creating a breeding ground for corruption,” he wrote, further charging the Congress with turning Telangana into a hub for scams.
