Overview

• K.T. Rama Rao launched the statewide campaign on September 27, presenting what the BRS calls unpaid welfare liabilities tied to Congress’s election guarantees.
• The card lists claimed arrears including ₹2,500 per month for women (₹55,000 over 22 months), a ₹44,000 pension shortfall per beneficiary, and gold support pending for about 8 lakh newlyweds.
• BRS says the cards are printed in Telugu, Urdu and English and will be distributed door to door before Panchayat elections and the Jubilee Hills bypoll.
• On September 28, KTR campaigned in Jubilee Hills’ Samata Colony, met residents and distributed the cards while urging voters to rebuke the ruling party.
• Congress whips Aadi Srinivas and Beerla Ilaiah rejected the drive as a fake campaign and blamed BRS for past fiscal mismanagement, as BRS separately alleged a ₹15,000 crore burden from L&T’s Metro exit.
