BRS Begins Door-to-Door 'Congress Dues Card' Drive Across Telangana

The opposition aims to sway impending local polls by quantifying alleged backlogs in Congress guarantees.

Overview

  • K. T. Rama Rao led doorstep distribution in Jubilee Hills, citing civic complaints from residents and urging a response in the by-election.
  • BRS says the cards tally unpaid pledges such as ₹2,500 monthly support for women (~₹55,000 per beneficiary) and ₹4,000 pensions (~₹44,000), along with farm aid, jobs and other schemes.
  • The party plans statewide outreach with cards printed in Telugu, Urdu and English, with leaders saying two crore copies will be delivered ahead of panchayat elections.
  • Congress dismisses the drive as a fake, politically timed stunt, arguing BRS left Telangana heavily indebted and insisting the government is implementing guarantees despite constraints.
  • BRS is linking other grievances to the push, accusing the government over L&T’s Hyderabad Metro exit and warning of Krishna water risks from Karnataka’s Almatti dam height plan.
