Hyderabad: KTR challenges Revanth for debate on state finances
K.T. Rama Rao accuses CM Revanth Reddy of fiscal mismanagement, citing govt report; calls for Assembly debate on Telangana’s finances
Hyderabad: BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao accused Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy of mismanaging the finances and throwing the state into a fiscal crisis, even as he called for a debate on the issue.
Addressing a press conference, Rama Rao, said the Telangana Statistical Atlas report, recently released by the state government, contradicted Revanth Reddy’s statements on rising debt.
“The Congress government itself released a report showing how Telangana’s financial position strengthened under KCR’s leadership. Yet, Revanth continues to spread falsehoods,” he said. According to Rama Rao, the report showed Telangana’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) rising from Rs 5 lakh crore in 2014 to Rs 15 lakh crore by 2023 — an increase of 300 per cent.
He said Telangana experienced “unprecedented development under KCR's leadership but has been deteriorating rapidly under the current Congress government. During Chandrashekar Rao’s tenure, Telangana was a shining example of economic progress and welfare. But within 15 months of the Congress government, the state is on the verge of financial collapse."
Rama Rao called on Revanth Reddy to hold an open debate in the Assembly on Telangana’s financial status. “Let’s debate the facts. We will expose how Congress’ reckless policies are ruining Telangana. The people deserve the truth,” he said,
