Union Minister and BJP President for Telangana, G Kishan Reddy, has strongly criticized the Congress party for failing to fulfill its key promises made to the people of Telangana when it came to power on December 7, 2023. As the state approaches the completion of one year under Congress rule, Reddy accused the party of betraying the people with unkept commitments.
In a press conference held on Monday, G Kishan Reddy pointed out that Congress had made several promises in its election manifesto, including six guarantees to be fulfilled within 100 days of coming to power and 66 other promises within the first year. However, according to Reddy, none of these promises have been fulfilled. He emphasized that 90% of the promises made by Congress have not even been initiated.
“Congress came to power on the back of guarantees, promising a brighter future for farmers, women, youth, students, and marginalized communities such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and OBCs. But a year into their tenure, none of these promises have been fulfilled,” Reddy stated.
The Union Minister went on to elaborate that the Congress party had specifically pledged several key initiatives for the welfare of various sectors. These included economic support for farmers, employment schemes for the youth and unemployed, educational reforms for students, and various welfare schemes for marginalized communities. However, Reddy claimed that none of these have materialized under the current government’s rule.
In a scathing attack, Reddy said, “The Congress party promised to fulfill 6 guarantees within 100 days, and 66 other promises within 1 year. But today, not only have these promises been ignored, but 90% of them have not even been started. The people of Telangana are deeply disappointed.”
To highlight the Congress government’s failures, the BJP presented a detailed “charge sheet” against the state government, accusing it of dishonesty and incompetence. The charge sheet was framed as a direct representation of the grievances of the people of Telangana, who, according to Reddy, are facing unfulfilled expectations and increasing frustration.
Reddy’s remarks are part of the BJP’s ongoing campaign to capitalize on the Congress government’s failures as the state gears up for the upcoming elections. The charge sheet, which is expected to be used as a key political tool, outlines a series of unfulfilled promises that the BJP alleges have harmed various communities in the state.
As the BJP intensifies its attack on the Congress government, the state Congress leadership has yet to respond publicly to the charge sheet. However, the ruling party is likely to counter the BJP’s claims in the coming days, defending its record and outlining its plans for the future.
With both parties gearing up for what promises to be a contentious election cycle, the focus on the unfulfilled promises of the Congress government is expected to shape political discourse in Telangana in the coming months.
