With less than four days remaining for campaigning in Telangana ahead of the Assembly elections scheduled for November 30, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge took a swipe at the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), accusing Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao of failing to fulfill promises.
Addressing two election rallies in the southern state, Kharge criticized KCR’s unfulfilled commitment to transform Hyderabad into Istanbul. In a post on social media platform X, Kharge asserted, “KCR promised to convert Hyderabad into Istanbul, but he shattered the dreams and aspirations of its people, while the Congress made Hyderabad an IT Hub.”
Kharge further accused the BRS, BJP, and AIMIM of contributing to delays in the construction of the Metro in Hyderabad. He contrasted the Congress’s record of implementing the first phase of Hyderabad Metro with what he described as ten years of misrule under KCR, resulting in poor infrastructure conditions, including bad roads, potholes, waterlogging, and flooding in the city.
Highlighting the Congress’s contributions during its rule, Kharge pointed to the construction of the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport and the longest elevated road, the P. V. Narasimha Rao Expressway. He emphasized the Congress’s commitment to restoring the lost glory of Hyderabad.
As the state heads to the polls, the Congress has unveiled several guarantees for the people of Telangana, aiming to address various concerns and improve the overall well-being of the citizens in the run-up to the elections for the 119-member state Assembly.
