Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) will corner Congress government in Telangana legislature over unfulfilled poll promises, party’s working president and former minister KT Rama Rao said on Monday.
On the first day of the budget session of state legislature, he along with the party legislators visited the Telangana Martyrs’ Memorial (Gun Park) before attending the Assembly session.
BRS MLAs and MLCs paid tributes to the martyrs and staged a protest at the memorial, raising slogans against the Congress government.
During the protest, BRS leaders demanded the immediate implementation of the promises made by the Congress government, particularly the Six Guarantees. They also demanded that the government grant legal status to these guarantees and allocate adequate funds in the state budget for their implementation.
Speaking to the media later, KTR said that it has been a long-standing tradition for BRS legislators to pay respects to the martyrs whose sacrifices made the formation of Telangana possible before attending Assembly sessions.
KTR strongly criticised the Congress government in Telangana for what he described as a betrayal of farmers and the people of the state. He alleged that the Congress government has deceived every section of society by failing to fulfil the promises it made before coming to power.
The BRS leader said that the BRS will raise these issues forcefully during the ongoing Assembly budget session and expose what he called the Congress party’s betrayal of Telangana. He particularly criticised the government’s alleged plan to allocaters1000 crore to Rahul Gandhi while neglecting farmers in the state.
KTR pointed out that the Congress party had promised to implement the Six Guarantees within 100 days of coming to power and had even declared that legal status would be granted to these guarantees in the very first Cabinet meeting after assuming office.
