BRS Leader Slams Congress for Economic Setback in Telangana
In a strong statement, KT Rama Rao held the Congress leadership responsible for the economic downturn in Telangana, citing the drop in key economic indicators such as GSDP and PCI. He pointed out that the state’s economic performance had taken a hit due to Congress’s leadership, which he described as “visionless” and “disconnected” from the state’s needs.
Rama Rao remarked that the people of Telangana were now facing the repercussions of trusting “tourist parties” and leaders who lack a clear vision for the state. “The Congress has appointed an unfit leader to a crucial position, dismantled a State built through decades of struggle, and is now toying with the lives of four crore citizens,” he added.
Consequences of Trusting National Parties, Says Rama Rao
Rama Rao warned that the consequences of placing Telangana in the hands of national parties, like Congress, would be disastrous. He criticized the shift from a decade of progressive governance under BRS to the short-sighted policies of Congress, claiming that this shift had caused irreversible damage to the state’s economic growth.
