Jubilee Hills To Decide Congress' Fate: KTR

BRS working president and former Minister K T Rama Rao today launched a scathing attack on the Congress government, and declared that the upcoming Jubilee Hills by-election would serve as a decisive verdict on the Congress' arrogance, corruption and deceit.

Addressing a gathering at Telangana Bhavan, where senior BJP leader from Shaikpet division Cherka Mahesh joined the BRS, KTR said that the people of Jubilee Hills faced a historic choice - between "the car that builds and the bulldozer that destroys".

He accused Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of turning the government into a symbol of greed and destruction, and alleged that the Congress had failed to fulfill even a single guarantee it made during the campaigning for the 2023 elections.

"For two years, the Congress government has neither built a single house nor laid a single brick. Yet, it has borrowed Rs 2.3 lakh crore, and is now spending looted money to buy votes in Jubilee Hills at Rs 10,000 per vote," he said.

KTR claimed that people were angry with the Congress's betrayal over its promises including pensions, housing and fee reimbursement. "If the Congress loses Jubilee Hills, it will finally learn a lesson. Only then will the promised pensions of Rs 4,000 and other welfare schemes reach the people," he said.

He also targeted the BJP, calling it a party of no relevance in Telangana, and warned voters that voting for the Congress or BJP was like throwing their votes into a drain.

On the issue of BC reservations, KTR accused Revanth Reddy of deliberately misleading the people. "He knew that reservation laws must be passed in Parliament, not in the Assembly. Still, he staged a drama just to fool the public," he said.

KTR also said that the Chief Minister had deceived former cricketer Mohammed Azharuddin over an MLC promise and betrayed Muslims even on the issue of burial grounds. "Cheating has become Reddy's nature. He himself once said that people believed those who cheated them - that's the foundation of his politics," KTR said.

The BRS working president urged people to make Jubilee Hills the starting point of Hyderabad's revival. "This by-election is not just about one seat - it's about Telangana's direction. Choose wisely - the car that builds or the bulldozer that destroys," he said.
