BRS to Corner Congress in Assembly Over Unfulfilled Six Guarantees: KTR

Hyderabad, Mar 16 (Maxim News): BRS Working President and former minister K.T. Rama Rao (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.

KTR 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 allocate ₹1000 crore to Rahul Gandhi while neglecting farmers in the state.

Continuing the tradition of paying homage to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the formation of Telangana, the BRS Legislature Party 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. He said that the entire BRS Legislature Party, including MLAs and MLCs, paid homage to the martyrs and student martyrs at the Telangana Martyrs’ Memorial before heading to the Assembly for the budget session.

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. However, he said that even after two and a half years in power, the government has failed to provide legal backing to the Six Guarantees.

He recalled that during the first Governor’s address after the Congress government came to power, the state government had announced that legal status would be granted to the Six Guarantees. The Chief Minister had approved the speech and the then Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan had conveyed it in the Assembly. Despite this, he said, the government has failed to fulfil its commitment even after multiple Assembly sessions.

KTR criticised the government for failing to implement key welfare schemes for farmers. He said that during the BRS government led by K. Chandrashekar Rao, Rythu Bandhu funds used to be credited to farmers before the sowing season. In contrast, he said, farmers are now completing harvests without receiving any support from the government, and there has been no clarity from the state on when the assistance will be released.

He said the BRS will question the government during the Assembly session on why it is prioritising political expenditures while neglecting farmers. “This is why we are raising the slogan – ‘Not Rahul Bandhu, give Rythu Bandhu; ₹1000 crore for Rahul, but a betrayal for farmers,’” he said.

KTR further accused the Congress government of deceiving multiple sections of society. He said the government had promised a budget allocation of ₹1 lakh crore for weaker sections over five years. With two budgets already presented and the third underway, at least ₹60,000 crore should have been allocated by now, but there is no clarity on this commitment.

He also criticised the failure to implement the Ambedkar Abhaya Hastham scheme for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, under which the government had promised financial assistance of ₹12 lakh in place of Dalit Bandhu. According to him, the scheme has not been implemented so far.

KTR said that the Congress government had promised to create two lakh jobs but has failed to deliver. He alleged that even the promise of providing 10,000 jobs for various sections has not been fulfilled.

He further said that women across Telangana are waiting for the promised ₹2,500 monthly assistance under the Mahalakshmi scheme, which was supposed to be implemented within 100 days. Senior citizens are waiting for the promised increase in pensions to ₹4,000 per month. Farmers are waiting for Rythu Bharosa and Rythu Bandhu assistance, while agricultural labourers are waiting for the promised ₹1,000 monthly support.

Auto drivers are also waiting for the promised financial assistance of ₹1,000 per month, he said.

KTR also highlighted the issue of pending fee reimbursement dues for students, stating that nearly ₹10,000 crore in reimbursements remains unpaid. Students and their parents across Telangana are anxiously waiting for the government to clear these dues, he added.

He further criticised the government for failing to implement its promised job calendar. “They spoke about a job calendar, but what we see now is only a calendar without jobs,” he remarked.

KTR said the BRS will raise all these issues in the Assembly and demand answers from the government. He questioned where the state’s finances are being diverted and accused the Congress government of mismanaging Telangana’s economy.

He said that the BRS government had handed over a financially strong state to the Congress administration, but the current government has pushed Telangana into financial mismanagement. He alleged that even retired employees are not receiving their due benefits.

KTR accused the Congress government of turning Telangana into an ATM for the All India Congress Committee (AICC) instead of focusing on the welfare of the poor and the development of the state.
