Congress Guarantees Unmet, NRR Writes In Open Letter To CM
BJP state chief writes open letter to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, alleging delay in implementation of key welfare guarantees in Telangana.
HYDERABAD: In a sharp counter to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who recently sought Union minister G. Kishan Reddy’s help to secure meetings with Union ministers and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for clearances on state projects, BJP Telangana state president N. Ramchander Rao on Sunday wrote an open letter to the CM. He requested an appointment with Leader of the Opposition and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to submit a memorandum on the party’s unfulfilled promises and guarantees to the people of Telangana.
Rao said the people of Telangana had trusted the Congress based on assurances given by party leaders Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi during the 2023 Assembly elections. Yet, promises made to womened, farmers, students, youth, the elderly, agricultural labourers and poor families remain unfulfilled, he alleged.
The state BJP chief noted that women are still waiting for the promised financial assistance of Rs 2,500 per month, while farmers await the Rs 15,000 per acre under Rythu Bharosa. Tenant farmers, labourers and poor families hoping for Indiramma houses have also faced disappointment, he said.
Rao pointed out that the Rs 5 lakh aid under Vidya Bharosa has not materialised. Students continue to struggle with fee reimbursement, and unemployed youth are still waiting for the Rs 4,000 monthly allowance repeatedly promised by Rahul Gandhi.
Senior citizens were yet to receive the Rs 4,000 monthly pension, and increased support for single women and persons with disabilities has not been implemented, he alleged. College‑going girls are still waiting for free scooters, while unemployed youth await a job calendar and employment opportunities.
Rao alleged that the Congress has failed to implement its guarantees, leading to resentment and despair across Telangana. He said if the Congress leadership failed to respond and grant the appointment, it would prove the party’s betrayal to the state and its people.
