Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K.T. Rama Rao stated that the forthcoming Jubilee Hills by-election on November 11 will serve as a referendum on the Congress government’s administration, law and order, and credibility. He alleged that over the past two years, the Congress government has stalled key developmental projects while unleashing “bulldozer politics” on the people.

KTR urged the electorate to reject Congress’ theatrics and remember the “420 guarantees” that deceived the public.

He remarked that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s rule has ushered in an era of “bulldozer governance” and administrative chaos. The  BRS working president said the Congress government has failed to deliver even a single people-centric programme and has instead relied solely on publicity and self-promotion.

 “Since the day Congress assumed power, Hyderabad’s progress and Telangana’s overall development have come to a grinding halt. This is the result of irresponsible governance and misplaced priorities,” he said.

On the issue of BC reservations, KTR accused the Congress of betraying the Backward Classes through ill-prepared and legally unsustainable measures.

“Without proper constitutional groundwork, the Congress government made hollow announcements that were struck down by the courts. 

If Congress and BJP are truly committed to BC empowerment, they should demonstrate sincerity by making their MPs push for a constitutional amendment to enact a BC Bill in Parliament. Street dramas in Telangana will not serve the purpose,” KTR said.

He further assured that the BRS would extend full support in the Rajya Sabha to any genuine effort by national parties to secure 42% BC reservations through constitutional means.

Referring to recent controversies involving ministers, KTR said that the Congress cabinet has been reduced to a battleground for commissions and internal rivalries.

“From Medaram Jatara works to tender allocations and bill clearances, Congress Ministers are fighting only for personal gain. Despite serious allegations of corruption, neither the Chief Minister nor his cabinet colleagues have responded. When Ministers fight for commissions inside cabinet meetings, who is left to govern the state?” he questioned.

KTR also criticised the Congress government’s negligence of the Airport Metro Express and Metro Phase-II projects, stating that the Chief Minister had “poured cold water” on Hyderabad’s future. “Instead of strengthening public transport and focusing on sustainable growth, Revanth Reddy is diverting public funds to his so-called ‘Future City’ project—an initiative designed only to inflate land values in areas owned by Congress leaders,” he alleged.

Highlighting the growing discontent across sectors, KTR said, “Every section of society—workers, farmers, traders, and women—has been negatively affected under this regime. It is time for the people to send a strong message. The Jubilee Hills by-election must be the first corrective step.”

KTR warned that if Congress were to win the Jubilee Hills seat, it would further embolden the government to roll back all welfare and development programmes initiated under the previous BRS regime. “Only if Congress is defeated will it feel pressured to honour even a fraction of its poll promises,” he said.
