BRS Rolls Out Statewide 'Congress Dues Card' Campaign in Telangana

The effort precedes local body polls and the Jubilee Hills by-election and packages alleged unkept guarantees into itemised debts.

Overview

  • BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao on September 27 unveiled a statewide "Congress Dues/Baaki Card" drive, casting Congress’s 2023 guarantees as unpaid obligations to voters.
  • The party says cards printed in Telugu, Urdu and English will be distributed door to door across Telangana, with KTR beginning on-ground distribution in Jubilee Hills on September 28.
  • BRS presented a ledger-style list of alleged arrears, citing examples such as ₹2,500 a month to women (₹55,000 over 22 months), pensions raised to ₹4,000 (₹44,000 due), and one tola gold for 8 lakh newlyweds.
  • KTR reiterated the claim that Rahul Gandhi’s promise of legal backing for guarantees has not materialised despite more than 30 cabinet meetings and accused the government of targeting BRS leaders with false cases.
  • Congress leaders dismissed the campaign as a political stunt, countering that BRS failed to deliver in office and left heavy debt, while BRS also raised a new accusation over L&T’s exit from the Hyderabad Metro and an alleged ₹15,000 crore burden.
