KTR Declares KCR’s Return Inevitable, Claims Congress Has Lost Public Trust

Intensifying the Bharata Rashtra Samithi’s campaign against the ruling Congress government, BRS Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) on Wednesday claimed that growing public dissatisfaction across Telangana is paving the way for the return of former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) . Addressing a meeting of key party leaders and workers in Sathupalli of Khammam district, KTR alleged that the Congress administration has failed to live up to its election promises and has disappointed several sections of society during its two-and-a-half years in office.

KTR said people across Telangana were increasingly expressing frustration over what he described as the government’s poor governance, unfulfilled assurances, and administrative failures . He argued that the warnings issued by KCR before the Assembly elections about Congress’ promises had proven accurate and claimed that farmers, students, youth, women and other groups had been adversely affected by the government's policies.

Highlighting the BRS government's record in the agriculture sector, KTR said the previous administration had transferred nearly ₹73,000 crore under the Rythu Bandhu scheme , providing direct investment support to farmers over multiple crop seasons. He accused the Congress government of failing to consistently extend similar benefits and alleged that key promises, including a large-scale farm loan waiver, had not been fully implemented. He also criticized the state's fertilizer distribution system, claiming farmers were facing difficulties in accessing urea despite the introduction of digital monitoring mechanisms. According to KTR, a future BRS government would simplify the process and ensure uninterrupted supply of agricultural inputs.

The former minister also launched a sharp attack on ministers representing Khammam district, alleging that despite holding influential portfolios, they had failed to secure meaningful development for the region. He raised questions over land allotments and infrastructure-related decisions and accused the government of neglecting important irrigation initiatives. Referring to the Sitarama Lift Irrigation Project , KTR said the BRS government had invested around ₹8,000 crore in the project and promised that it would be completed if the party returned to power, ensuring irrigation benefits for farmers in the area.

Turning to education, KTR alleged that delays in fee reimbursement payments were placing an additional financial burden on students and their families. He also raised concerns over pending accreditation cards for journalists and said the BRS would continue to press the government on the issue. Questioning Congress' welfare commitments to women, he claimed that several guarantees announced before the elections were yet to be fully delivered and challenged the government to fulfil its promises.

Looking ahead to future elections, KTR urged party workers to closely monitor the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and ensure that no eligible voter was left out. He also called for an intensified membership drive through the party’s digital platform and asked cadres to strengthen grassroots outreach across the state. Several senior BRS leaders, including Sandra Venkata Veeraiah, Vaddiraju Ravichandra, Puvvada Ajay Kumar , and Nama Nageswara Rao , attended the meeting.
