BRS leader K.T. Rama Rao accused the Congress of betraying Telangana’s people and running the state with a “bulldozer mindset,” urging Jubilee Hills voters to compare 10 years of BRS rule with two years of Congress governance.

KTR Terms Jubilee Hills Poll a Verdict on Progress vs. Betrayal

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao sharpened his attack on the Congress, framing the upcoming Jubilee Hills by-election as a choice between “ten years of BRS progress and two years of Congress deceit.”

Speaking to residents of Reliance Jubilee Community in Shaikhpet, KTR accused the Revanth Reddy-led government of neglecting all sections of society and running Telangana with what he called a “bulldozer mindset.” He said the Congress administration had failed on governance, welfare, and minority representation — pointing out that despite six available MLC seats, not one was given to a minority candidate.

The BRS leader also alleged an understanding between the Congress and BJP, claiming that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and BJP MPs were “working in tandem to exchange political favours and contracts.” He criticized Rahul Gandhi for remaining silent while “houses of the poor were being razed in the name of development.”

KTR contrasted this with what he described as the BRS government’s achievements, highlighting uninterrupted power, communal harmony, and initiatives like 204 Gurukul schools for minorities and overseas education scholarships worth ₹20 lakh.

Political observers note that Jubilee Hills has become a symbolic battleground — not just for votes, but for contrasting narratives of governance. While the BRS banks on its decade-long record of urban development, the Congress faces growing scrutiny over inclusivity and public dissatisfaction.

Analysts suggest that KTR’s rhetoric is aimed at re-energizing the BRS cadre and consolidating urban voters disillusioned with recent state policies. With the bypoll nearing, the contest may hinge less on promises and more on performance.
