Congress manifesto is biggest lie of the century as it had betrayed all sections of society: KTR
HYDERABAD
Working president of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) K.T. Rama Rao has observed that the Congress manifesto is the biggest lie of the century as the party had betrayed every section of the Telangana society with it.
Speaking at the 'Dalit Atmagourava Sabha' held at Lingampet in Yellareddy constituency of Kamareddy district on Friday, he said the Congress did not even spare dalit and tribal communities as it had failed to implement the SC, ST Declaration announced by AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge after coming to power.
He said Statehood to Telangana had become possible only with the help of Article 3 of the Constitution scripted by a team led by B.R. Ambedkar. It was with the spirit of that provision BRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao had mobilised people for the Statehood movement and achieved it after 14 years of struggle. He stated that KCR was the only Chief Minister who had named the Secretariat after Dr. Ambedkar and got a 125-feet tall statue of Ambedkar installed for the first time in the country.
Mr. Rama Rao pointed out that the Revanth Reddy government was unable to provide basic quality food to students of the residential educational institutions, while he spent ₹1.35 lakh for one plate of meal during his visit to Vemulawada. The neglect of these institutions had already resulted in the death of over 100 students over the last 20 months. During the BRS regime, the institutions were transformed into high-standard places of learning under the leadership of R.S. Praveen Kumar.
Besides, Mr. Revanth Reddy had promised to increase the Dalit Bandhu assistance amount to ₹12 lakh from ₹10 lakh, if voted to power, but he had disbanded it completely. He had also promised 26% of all government contractual works to SC, ST communities and ₹6 lakh assistance for construction of house, but they were not kept so far. He also listed out all other welfare benefits, which were promised with enhanced amount but in vain.
Party leaders V. Prashanth Reddy, Gampa Goverdhan, Bajireddy Goverdhan, R.S. Praveen Kumar, Deshapathi Srinivas and others participated. Mr. Rama Rao felicitated M. Sayilu, who was insulted by the police at the birth anniversary event of Dr. Ambedkar earlier this year.
