Hyderabad: BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao accused the Congress party of systematically deceiving backward classes (BCs) across Telangana, alleging betrayal from local body reservations to the unfulfilled BC declaration.
KTR met with BC public representatives on Sunday at the residence of former minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav, using the Bonalu festival gathering to highlight what he called Congress’s consistent bad faith. He said the party’s real agenda was to dilute BC representation while projecting token efforts.
The BRS leadership criticised the Congress government’s fresh ordinance on 42% BC reservations in local bodies, calling it another ploy to deflect from legal and procedural lapses in the earlier version. “Despite knowing it won’t hold up legally, they are enacting a new drama under the name of ordinance,” KTR reportedly said.
BC leaders present at the meeting accused Congress of manipulating the caste census process, intentionally underreporting BC numbers. They slammed the State’s claim of conducting a scientifically rigorous survey, calling it one of the most flawed and deceptive exercises, especially when held up as a national model.
They also questioned Congress’s failure to implement a single promise from its BC declaration, saying the ruling party has neither honoured its commitments nor continued pro-poor schemes introduced by the previous BRS administration.
Citing the abrupt termination of welfare programmes for marginalised communities, the leaders charged Congress with betraying the very sections it claims to uplift. They warned that legal excuses and court narratives were being crafted to justify what they see as calculated deception.
