Speaking earlier at Telangana Bhavan, KTR lashed out at the Congress-led state government, accusing them of failing to fulfill their pre-election promises, particularly those related to farmers’ welfare.
“We are accepting Revanth’s challenge. The Congress leaders have forgotten the promises made after coming to power,” KTR stated.
He further alleged:
- The Congress government has cheated farmers and the public with false promises
- No meaningful debates or discussions are being held in the Assembly
- Opposition voices are being suppressed, and BRS leaders are not allowed to speak
“We’re Ready for Talks With Ministers,” Says KTR
KTR emphasized that even if Revanth Reddy is not available—reportedly being in Delhi—the BRS is ready to hold talks with other ministers or Congress representatives.
“Let’s see if Revanth becomes a minister. We are ready for discussions with any minister,” KTR added, signaling his party’s readiness for public accountability.
Political Tensions Rise as Both Parties Dig In
This development adds to the ongoing political rivalry between BRS and the Congress in Telangana, especially over key issues such as:
- Farmer welfare schemes
- Implementation of electoral promises
- Legislative transparency and accessibility
The showdown is expected to escalate in the coming days, particularly if Congress leaders respond with a counter-move or if the debate proceeds at the press club.
