Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rama Rao, expressing confidence that K Chandrashekar Rao will be re-elected as chief minister, said the party has gained more strength in the recent panchayat elections compared to the 2023 polls. Taking a dig at Revanth Reddy, KTR said the chief minister himself admitted that the Congress govt has incurred a debt of Rs 3.7 lakh crore in just two and a half years. He said that Skyroot received support from the BRS govt but the Congress govt is now claiming credit for work done by the BRS regime.He was speaking after welcoming All India Forward Block party leader Pillutla Raghu from Huzurnagar into the BRS at Telangana Bhavan. He highlighted issues during the Congress rule, such as pollution in the Musi river and fluorosis, and contrasted them with the BRS govt’s initiatives. He said the previous govt spent Rs 1,800 crore on the redevelopment of Yadadri temple, established an ultra mega power project worth Rs 35,000 crore, set up medical colleges, and addressed fluorosis with Mission Bhagiratha.KTR said that two and a half years into the Congress govt, there is little to show in terms of development. The six guarantees, poll promises, and 13 declarations have been ignored, he alleged.
