Hyderabad: Senior BRS leader T Harish Rao urged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to review Revanth Reddy govt’s record across its three budgets and seek an account of the promises that remain unfulfilled. In an appeal to Rahul Gandhi on Saturday, Harish said Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were among the tallest leaders the Congress has produced, and both had served as Prime Ministers of the country. “Their names carry respect, and that respect should be earned through meaningful public service. It should not be attached to schemes whose promises are never fulfilled. True respect for these leaders does not lie in naming schemes after them but in honouring the commitments made in their names,” the BRS leader said.“This is the right time for Rahul Gandhi to examine what this govt has actually delivered through its three budgets. These are not ordinary budget announcements. They are commitments the Congress made to the people through its own manifesto. Why have they not been fulfilled?“ he asked.Harish said the Revanth Reddy govt’s three-budget formula was simple. “Announce, recycle and never deliver. Instead of implementing what was promised, this govt keeps repackaging old announcements and presenting them as fresh achievements. Meanwhile, poor families, landless agricultural labourers and unemployed youth are still waiting for the promises to be fulfilled,” he said.Elaborating on the schemes, he said the Indiramma Atmiya Bharosa scheme was promised in the 2024-25 budget, with an annual assistance of ₹12,000 for landless agricultural labourers. “In the 2025-26 budget, the govt once again claimed that the scheme was being implemented. Three budgets have gone by, but the assistance has not reached the people it was meant for. Is this what the Congress calls implementation?” he asked.“Under Rajiv Yuva Vikasam, ₹6,000 crore was announced in the 2025-26 budget to support SC, ST, BC and minority youth. The very same ₹6,000 crore was repeated in 2026-27 budget. The figure remains on paper. Where is the actual allocation, and where is the implementation? When will the assistance reach the unemployed youth waiting for it? Three budgets, the same promises. Recycled announcements. No accountability,” he said.“It is time for Rahul Gandhi to go beyond speeches and slogans. Review your govt’s three budgets, question the CM and seek a clear account of every manifesto promise that remains unfulfilled. Your responsibility does not end with making promises. It extends to ensuring that they are delivered,” the BRS floor leader said. The people of Telangana deserve governance, not gimmicks; delivery, not deception; accountability, not another round of recycled promises, Harish said.
