Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) has sharply criticised Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, questioning his credibility over a recent assurance that Jayashankar Bhupalpally district would not be abolished.
Addressing a large rally in Bhupalpally as part of ongoing municipal election campaigning, KTR challenged the Chief Minister’s promise, saying that Revanth Reddy’s track record of unfulfilled guarantees raises doubts about his ability to keep such commitments. He pointed out that the Congress government came to power promising six guarantees and multiple development pledges, but has fallen short of delivering on key items.
Rama Rao also took aim at the Chief Minister for even commenting on the fate of a district named after Telangana ideologue Prof. K. Jayashankar. He asked the audience whether Revanth Reddy was responsible for creating the district, naming it, or initiating major development works such as a medical college there.
Highlighting developmental achievements during the previous BRS regime, KTR cited thousands of double-bedroom houses and job creation for Singareni dependents, contrasting them with what he described as negligible progress under the current administration.
KTR urged voters to treat the municipal elections as a referendum on political accountability and credibility, warning that trust in Revanth Reddy could embolden future actions contrary to public interest. He emphasised that the electorate should send a clear message if leaders fail to honour their promises.
