Hyderabad, Sep 2 (IANS) Telangana’s main opposition party Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) released a ‘chargesheet’ on Wednesday, describing 1,000 days of the Congress party in the state as incompetent, corrupt and anarchic.
Releasing the chargesheet at Telangana Bhavan, BRS Working President K. T. Rama Rao claimed that it was 1,000 days of public oppression.
He accused the Congress government of failure on all fronts. He said the Congress promised a paradise within 100 days but instead subjected the state to a daily living hell.
He said top Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Sonia Gandhi, had guaranteed the execution of all promises within 100 days, but even after 1,000 days, not a single promise has been fully implemented.
He alleged that the government’s performance over the past 1,000 days had resulted in growing difficulties for farmers, students, unemployed youth, women, employees and other sections.
Alleging that the rift between the Chief Minister and his ministers is driven entirely by commission distribution, tenders, and corruption, KTR likened the ruling dispensation to a story of ‘Ali Baba and 40 Thieves’, stating their only conflict is over the division of looted public funds.
The BRS leader accused the government of running a 30% commission racket under the guise of Section 22-A and the prohibited property list, noting that private and government lands across 1.20 crore acres are being manipulated.
He stated that the BRS has documented the major failures of the Congress government and would take these issues to the people.
KTR announced a 7-day intense outreach programme across all 119 constituencies, involving dedicated sessions and protests alongside farmers, women, youth, and welfare beneficiaries.
He asserted that the opposition will aggressively corner the government in the upcoming Assembly session over unfulfilled declarations, economic mismanagement and a deteriorating law and order situation.
On the economy, KTR alleged that Telangana’s financial position had weakened during the Congress government’s tenure. He questioned the utilisation of what he described as Rs 4.5 lakh crore in borrowings and demanded greater transparency on how the borrowed funds had been spent.
KTR further alleged corruption and irregularities in contracts, land transactions and government projects. He said the chargesheet contains details of around 30 alleged scams and controversies and demanded that the government address the allegations transparently.
The BRS leader declared that when his party returns to power in 2008–29, every single rupee of public money swallowed during the past 1,000 days will be thoroughly investigated and recovered.
On agriculture, KTR alleged that farmers had been let down on several fronts, including Rythu Bharosa, crop procurement, fertiliser availability, farmer insurance and loan-related support. He said delays in welfare payments and procurement had added to the problems faced by farmers and alleged that agrarian distress had increased under the Congress government.
He said the education sector was also facing serious problems, particularly due to mounting fee reimbursement dues. He questioned the government’s approach towards government schools and universities and alleged that students were being forced to bear the impact of administrative failures. He also criticised the government’s handling of student protests.
On employment, KTR questioned the implementation of the Congress job calendar and sought clarity on the promise of filling 2 lakh government vacancies. He said unemployed youth who had supported the Congress during the elections were now seeking answers on recruitment and employment opportunities.
KTR alleged that women had also been disappointed by the government’s failure to implement several assurances, including monthly financial assistance. He raised concerns over pending payments under welfare schemes and demanded that the government clear the dues without further delay.
He accused the Congress government of failing to meet its commitments towards BCs, SCs, STs and minorities. KTR alleged that promised financial support, reservations and welfare measures had either not been implemented or had fallen short of the assurances made during the elections.
On government employees and workers, KTR alleged that PRC and DA-related benefits remained pending. He also criticised the government’s handling of Anganwadi and ASHA workers, RTC employees, Singareni workers and other sections seeking better working conditions and financial support.
KTR also raised concerns over Hyderabad’s civic administration. He alleged deterioration in sanitation, infrastructure and public services and criticised the government’s handling of HYDRAA-related actions and property disputes. He also questioned decisions concerning major infrastructure and public transport projects in Hyderabad.
