Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader and MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha has demanded immediate implementation of the "minority declaration" promised by the Congress party in the state.
In its manifesto during Telangana Assembly polls, the Congress party had announced 'minority declaration' and vowed that the party would work for the "financial upliftment and empowerment" of minorities in the state.
Kavitha, the daughter of BRS Supremo KCR said, "We demand immediate implementation of the minority declaration and fulfillment of promises made to minorities, including, financial assistance of ₹1.6 lakh and 10 grams of gold under the Kalyan Lakshmi scheme for minority women."
During her visit to Nizamabad, BRS leader Kavitha delivered a scathing critique of the Congress government in Telangana, led by CM Revanth Reddy.
MLC Kavitha stated, "Rahul Gandhi talks about Constitution while Congress workers vandalise our party offices. Is violence their new political strategy?"
She even accused CM Revanth Reddy of being an RSS-aligned leader who has failed to safeguard the dignity and rights of minorities. She revealed that out of a sanctioned ₹3,000 crore budget for minorities, only ₹700 crore has been utilised.
In reply to this, she contrasted this with the BRS government's decade-long record of communal harmony under CM KCR, where communities were empowered and no communal violence occurred.
"Nizamabad, with the second-highest Muslim population in Telangana after Hyderabad, deserves focused efforts to empower its minority communities. The Congress government has ignored its responsibilities," she added.
MLC Kavitha praised the Tablighi Jamaat for their noble work in spreading harmony and unity within communities, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace and empowering all citizens.
Concluding her remarks, MLC Kavitha asked, "Will the Congress party hold CM Revanth Reddy accountable for the increasing communal violence and failure to fulfill promises, or is Rahul Gandhi encouraging this neglect?"
The BRS leader reiterated her commitment to ensuring justice for minorities and called on the Congress government to act immediately in the interest of the people of Telangana.
