BJP Releases Charge Sheet Alleging Failures of Congress Rule

Hyderabad: BJP state president N. Ramchander Rao, joined by Maharashtra minister and state election in-charge Ashish Shelar, released a chargesheet titled ‘Fake Assurances — Cheating Promises’ ahead of municipal polls.

The dossier indicts the Congress government for two years of failures, including shelving its Six Guarantees and over 420 pledges, fueling corruption and shortchanging employees, pensioners, farmers, students and local bodies.

At the launch, attended by co-in-charge Ashok Parnami, Malkajgiri MP Etela Rajender and other seniors, Rao lambasted Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy's regime.

He listed unkept vows: no dearness allowance hikes, PRC implementation, or health cards for government staff, a stalled old pension scheme, halted Rythu Bandhu aid and non-release of farm loan waivers, fee reimbursement arrears accumulating to thousands of crores, straining students and institutions; and broken commitments such as 2 lakh jobs, ₹4,000 unemployment stipends, ₹2,500 monthly aid for women and gold for brides.

Rao decried healthcare breakdowns from unpaid Rajiv Aarogyasri bills, undelivered super-specialty hospitals and municipalities crippled by fund shortages with heaps of garbage, pothole-riddled roads and dismal sanitation despite ₹2,500 crore in tax collections. Development now hinges on central schemes like Amrut and Swachh Bharat, he noted.

Alleging coal scams, tender irregularities and no progress over BRS-era phone-tapping cases and Kaleshwaram scam, Rao claimed nearly 150 temples were desecrated by communal elements post-Congress takeover, with some encroachments linked to ruling party leaders. “Congress is cheating like BRS did,” he charged. Rallying with "Save Telangana — Vote for BJP," he predicted the party's ascent.

Earlier, Rao flagged off LED-screen-fitted campaign vehicles to highlight central schemes' benefits. BJP MP Rekha Sharma, ex-Rajya Sabha member G.V.L. Narasimha Rao and others attended.
