People Will Reject Congress and Revanth Reddy: KTR

Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) asserted that the people of Mahabubnagar have fully understood the injustice being done to the district by the Congress government and will decisively reject the party in the upcoming elections. He stated that the people of Mahabubnagar would politically drive Congress and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy out of the district.

KTR accused Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of betraying the interests of the region by sidelining the nearly completed Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme. He alleged that the government was neglecting a project capable of irrigating lakhs of acres of farmland while prioritising commissions and contracts. According to KTR, the people have recognised this betrayal and will respond appropriately in the next elections.

He further remarked that although Revanth Reddy repeatedly claims to be a son of Mahabubnagar, his government has failed the district in every sector. KTR said that the people of Kodangal constituency would ensure Revanth Reddy’s defeat in the coming elections, just as they had taught him a lesson in the past.

Stating that mere announcements and publicity campaigns cannot bring development, KTR criticised the Chief Minister for focusing on politics instead of completing crucial projects and fulfilling development commitments. He expressed confidence that the people would hold the government accountable for its failures.

Recalling the condition of Mahabubnagar before the formation of Telangana, KTR said the district was once known for drought and large-scale migration. He credited the BRS government under former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) for transforming the district through extensive irrigation, welfare, and development initiatives, thereby reducing migration and improving livelihoods.

KTR acknowledged that the party had failed to effectively communicate its developmental achievements during the previous elections. However, he said that after experiencing Congress rule, people are now recognising the value of the development delivered by the previous BRS government. He urged party leaders to simultaneously expose the failures of the Congress government and remind people of the achievements accomplished during the BRS administration.

Particular emphasis, he said, should be placed on highlighting the injustice being done to Palamuru through the neglect of irrigation projects. KTR alleged that while the Congress party had ignored the district for six decades, depriving it of adequate drinking water and development, the current Congress government was continuing the same pattern of neglect.

Earlier in the day, KTR held an extensive review meeting with leaders from the undivided Mahabubnagar district at the residence of former Minister Lakshma Reddy. The meeting was attended by former ministers, former MLAs, MLCs, and sitting legislators.

During the meeting, KTR reviewed the prevailing political situation across the district and sought detailed feedback from party leaders regarding grassroots conditions. He assessed the progress of ongoing party programmes and constituency-level meetings and discussed preparations for the upcoming Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and the party’s membership enrolment drive.

KTR provided strategic guidance on strengthening the organisation ahead of future elections. He stressed the need to further strengthen the party structure at the booth level in every village and called for a coordinated, systematic approach to organisational expansion.

Party leaders, in turn, shared constituency-wise assessments, public feedback, and ground-level observations. They informed KTR that public support for BRS was steadily increasing and that people had become increasingly aware of the failures of the Congress government. Leaders also reported widespread dissatisfaction among various sections of society over what they described as unfulfilled promises and governance failures.

Expressing confidence in the party’s prospects, KTR stated that BRS was well-positioned to achieve a clean sweep in the undivided Mahabubnagar district in the next elections. He urged party leaders to convert the growing public support into electoral success through sustained organisational efforts and public outreach.
