Kharge Questions Abrupt End to Pakistan Conflict
Kharge demanded answers from the central government on why the war against Pakistan was stopped abruptly, questioning who ordered the halt. Referring to the Pahalgam terror incident, he said the nation stood united behind the government.
“All political parties supported the Modi government to take action. But why was the war stopped? It was an opportunity to take back PoK,” Kharge said, criticizing Modi for what he called a lack of resolve at a crucial moment.

“Why Didn’t Modi Visit Manipur?” – Kharge
Kharge sharply criticized Modi for failing to visit violence-hit Manipur, despite traveling to over 42 countries during his tenure.
“Manipur is burning, but the Prime Minister chose not to go there. Are the people of Manipur not Indian citizens?” he asked, contrasting Modi’s global tours with his absence during domestic crises.
Congress Credits Telangana Development to Grassroots Workers
Highlighting Congress’ victory in Telangana, Kharge credited the party workers and said the state’s governance model is setting a new national benchmark.
Key Achievements Under the Congress Government in Telangana:
- Free electricity up to 200 units
- Free bus travel for women
- Loan waivers and Rythu Bharosa (farmer support)
- Paddy bonus and rice distribution for the poor
- Indiramma housing scheme
- Creation of 60,000+ government jobs
- Over ₹3 lakh crore in new investments
- Young India Skill and Sports Universities
“The Telangana model has become a role model for the country. Even the Centre should adopt these welfare schemes,” he said.
Secularism Debate: “You Can’t Remove the Word From the Constitution”
Kharge strongly responded to BJP’s claims about the word ‘secular’ being absent or unnecessary in the Constitution.
“If you are embarrassed by the word ‘secular’, remove it from your party manifesto. The word cannot be removed from the Indian Constitution,” Kharge asserted.
Kharge Challenges Modi, KCR, Kishan Reddy to Open Debate
The Congress president invited Narendra Modi, Union Minister Kishan Reddy, and former CM K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) to an open debate in the Assembly.
“We’ll show with facts who truly benefited farmers and common people. Congress delivered ₹9,000 crore in support within 9 days,” he added.
Activists Will Lead Congress to Victory, Says Telangana CM
