Hyderabad: IT and industries minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu has asserted that only the Congress has continuously championed social justice and dedicated itself to uplifting the living standards of people across the country.
He emphasised that, whether in power or in opposition, the Congress alone has consistently spoken for and worked towards the betterment of marginalised and underprivileged communities.
Responding to recent allegations made by BRS leaders against the Congress government and Rahul Gandhi, Sridhar Babu posed 10 questions to the BRS leadership through his open letter on Tuesday.
MARTYRS
Former chief minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao had acknowledged in an Assembly resolution that 1,200 martyrs had sacrificed their lives. However, he later changed his stance multiple times, reducing the official count to 585 in different government orders.
What happened to the remaining 615 martyrs during the 10 years of the BRS’s destructive rule?
Why have BRS leaders turned their backs on the families of 1,200 students and youth who sacrificed their lives during the second phase of the Telangana movement?
BRS leaders promised each martyr's family `10 lakh in financial aid, housing, farmland, a government job, free education, and healthcare. Yet only a handful received some support, many promises remain unfulfilled. Why have BRS leaders chosen silence over speaking up for families who lost their loved ones in this struggle?
DALITS
Isn’t it true that leaders who promised to appoint a Dalit as the Chief Minister are now silent on that commitment? And isn’t it a fact that the promise to provide three acres of land to Dalit families has been abandoned?
SONIA GANDHI
Chandrashekhar Rao had described Sonia Gandhi as the "Mother of Telangana." Now, you insult her and her family. Do you think people have forgotten?
Who first suggested merging your party with the Congress, and who went back on that promise? How did Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, who granted Telangana, suddenly become your enemies? Isn’t it your fear of political irrelevance that drove this sudden hostility?
JOBS
Who made a promise of one lakh jobs and who is having a legacy of leakage of Group-1 examination papers? Who is accountable for the failure to conduct exams three years after notification? Is it not BRS's incompetence that forced the exams to be cancelled due to court orders?
DOUBLE BEDROOM HOMES
How-many double bedroom homes were given?
EDUCATION
Why wasn't KG to PG free education was not implemented?
IRRIGATION
The BRS made a tall claim to provide irrigation water through the Kaleshwaram Project to 16,40,000 acres across seven districts. But how much of that promise has been fulfilled?
Stating that he will not ask on construction flaws in Medigadda or the cost escalation from Rs. 40,000 crore to Rs. 1.4 lakh crore, as an investigation is ongoing, Sridhar Babu asked the BRS leaders whether they think these facts are hidden from the public?
