BRS Unveils ‘Congress Debt Card’ Targeting Telangana’s Unkept Welfare Guarantees

BRS will take the itemised dues list door to door statewide before local body voting in Telangana.

Overview

  • BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao launched the statewide campaign at Telangana Bhavan, framing it as a counter to Congress’s 2023 ‘Guarantee Card’.
  • The party’s card lists alleged arrears on key promises, citing figures such as ₹2,500 per month for women, ₹4,000 pensions, and one tola of gold for about 8 lakh newlyweds.
  • The ledger also flags farm and job pledges as unmet, including ₹15,000 per acre support, a ₹500 paddy bonus, a ₹2 lakh loan waiver, 2 lakh government jobs, and ₹4,000 monthly unemployment aid.
  • KTR said the cards will be distributed in Telugu, Urdu and English through a door-to-door effort and urged voters to hold Congress accountable in local body polls and the Jubilee Hills by-election.
  • He accused the government of vindictive action against BRS leaders through false cases and reiterated that Congress leaders failed to give legal backing to their guarantees despite repeated cabinet meetings.
