Harish Rao Urges Rahul To Review Cong Promises Implementation in Telangana | Hyderabad News

Hyderabad: Former minister T. Harish Rao urged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to review the Revanth Reddy govt’s record across its three Budgets and to seek an account of the manifesto promises that remain unfulfilled.In an appeal to Rahul Gandhi on Saturday, Harish Rao said Indiramma and Rajiv Gandhi were among the tallest leaders the Congress party has produced, and both of them served as prime ministers of this country. T“heir names carry respect, and that respect should be earned through meaningful public service. It should not be attached to schemes whose promises are never kept. True respect for those leaders does not lie in naming schemes after them. It lies in honouring the commitments made in their names,” the BRS leader said.“You are in Hyderabad today, and this is the right time to look at what this govt has actually delivered across three govt 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 Rao said the three Budget formula of the Revanth Reddy govt is a simple one. “Announce, recycle, and never deliver. Instead of implementing what was promised, this govt keeps repackaging old announcements and presenting them as fresh achievements. In the meantime, poor families, landless agricultural labourers and unemployed young people are still waiting for what they were promised,” he said.Elaborating on the schemes, he said Indiramma Atmiya Bharosa scheme, the 2024-25 Budget promised ₹12,000 a year to landless agricultural labourers. In the 2025-26 Budget the government claimed once more that the scheme was being implemented. Three Budgets have gone by and that assistance has not reached the people it was meant for. Is this what the Congress calls implementation?Take Rajiv Yuva Vikasam. An allocation of ₹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 the 2026-27 Budget. The figure sits on paper. Where is the real allocation, and where is the implementation? When will that help reach unemployed young people who are waiting for it? Three Budgets. The same promises. Recycled announcements. No accountability, he said.“Rahul Gandhi Ji, it is time to go past speeches and slogans. Review your government’s three budgets, question the CM, and ask for a clear account of every manifesto promise that remains unkept. Your responsibility does not end with making the promise. It extends to making sure it is 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 Rao said.ends/
