KTR accuses Congress Govt of corruption & governance failures

KTR accuses Congress Govt of corruption & governance failures

Hyderabad, May 21 (UNI) BRS Working President K T Rama Rao launched a scathing attack on the Congress government, accusing it of turning governance into a "commission-driven circus" and using notices to former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao as a diversionary tactic.

Speaking to the media in Nalgonda, KTR alleged that the Congress regime is steeped in corruption, with commissions of 20–30 per cent becoming routine.

“Even their own MLAs and ministers admit that no work happens without commissions,” he said, pointing to a recent protest by contractors at the Deputy CM’s office as evidence of widespread

graft.

KTR claimed that the Congress-BJP alliance is conspiring to tarnish the Kaleshwaram Project and that notices to KCR are part of this political agenda.

He asserted, “Truth and justice will prevail—we have full faith in the judiciary.”

Highlighting governance lapses, KTR cited failures such as the collapse of the Sunkishala retaining wall, the submergence of the Vattem pump house, repeated damage to the Pedda Vagu project, and the government's inaction in the SLBC tunnel tragedy, where bodies remain unrecovered months later.

He further accused the Congress of using inquiries and committees to avoid delivering on its six electoral guarantees.

“We will not stop until every promise is fulfilled—from Rs 2,500 for women to pensions and gold for brides,” KTR declared, warning that continued failures could provoke public revolt.
