Kishan Reddy, at the press conference, said that Telangana society is aware of how Congress had ditched them as regards farm loan waiver, Rythu Bharosa, and additional bonus on procurement of food grains. The Congress is trying to give a misleading picture to people of Maharashtra that people in Congress-ruled states were very happy.

Charging that former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao had similarly misled people with provocative statements, false promises, misleading assurances, Kishan Reddy said that the BRS government did not give jobs to a single person despite issuing seven job notifications.
