Bharat Rashtra Samithi Working President KT Rama Rao (KTR) has slammed the Congress government's latest budget, calling it a betrayal of Telangana’s people. He said the budget offered "zero gains" and exposed Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s inefficiency.

 

KTR accused the Congress of ruining Telangana’s progress over the past decade. He claimed the government prioritised sending "bags of money" to Delhi instead of fulfilling promises. Calling it a "40 per cent commission budget," he vowed that BRS would oppose its "anti-people" policies.

 

He also criticised the delay in implementing Congress’s six guarantees. "After Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka’s speech, it is clear these guarantees are empty words," he said. The Congress, he claimed, had discarded its own election promises.

KTR pointed out that key welfare schemes were missing from the budget. The Mahalakshmi scheme, ₹4,000 pensions, and "tula of gold" were not mentioned, leaving women, farmers, and the elderly disappointed.

 

He also questioned Congress’s borrowing habits. While the BRS borrowed ₹4.17 lakh crore over ten years, Congress had taken ₹1.6 lakh crore in just one year with no new projects to show for it. Mocking their "trillion-dollar economy" claim, he said they didn’t even know how many zeros it involved.

 

KTR blamed the Congress for a ₹73,000 crore revenue drop and questioned why the budget failed to meet expectations. He also accused the government of betraying auto drivers, gig workers, and weavers. He claimed 100 auto drivers had died by suicide due to the free bus scheme, yet Congress failed to set up the promised Auto Drivers’ Welfare Board.

 

Weaver funding, he said, had dropped from ₹1,200 crore under BRS to ₹370 crore. Promises to government employees, including PRC and pending DAs, were ignored. Loan waivers for farmers were incomplete, and he challenged Congress to prove otherwise.

 

KTR accused the Congress of prioritising corruption, saying their "loot" had increased from 20 to 40 per cent. He claimed ₹6,000 crore was being distributed among Congress workers instead of being used for public welfare.

 

"This is not youth development; it’s Telangana’s destruction," he said. He mocked the government’s misplaced priorities, stating, "Farmers are dying, but the government is busy organising beauty contests."
