Telangana's principal opposition party, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), on Wednesday, 2 September released a formal 'chargesheet' at Telangana Bhavan in Hyderabad, branding 1,000 days of the Congress government in the state as incompetent, corrupt, and anarchic. BRS Working President K. T. Rama Rao led the release, describing the period as '1,000 days of public oppression'.

Key Allegations Against the Congress Government

K. T. Rama Rao (KTR) alleged that top Congress leaders — including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Sonia Gandhi — had personally guaranteed the execution of all election promises within 100 days of taking office. According to KTR, not a single promise has been fully implemented even after 1,000 days. He accused the ruling dispensation of failing farmers, students, unemployed youth, women, government employees, and marginalised communities.

KTR likened the Congress government to a story of 'Ali Baba and 40 Thieves', alleging that internal rifts between the Chief Minister and his ministers were driven entirely by commission distribution, tender manipulation, and corruption — not policy disagreements. He further alleged that the government was running a 30% commission racket under the guise of Section 22-A and a prohibited property list, with private and government lands across 1.20 crore acres reportedly being manipulated.

Financial Mismanagement and Alleged Scams

On the economy, KTR questioned the utilisation of what he described as ₹4.5 lakh crore in borrowings and demanded transparency on how the funds had been deployed. The chargesheet, he said, documents around 30 alleged scams and controversies spanning contracts, land transactions, and government projects. He demanded that the government address each allegation openly.

KTR declared that when the BRS returns to power — which he projected for 2028–29 — every rupee of public money allegedly misappropriated during this period would be investigated and recovered. Critics note that such declarations are standard opposition rhetoric, though the specificity of the chargesheet format gives the claims an added procedural weight.

Sector-by-Sector Failures Cited

The BRS chargesheet covers a wide range of sectors. On agriculture, KTR alleged delays and shortfalls in Rythu Bharosa payments, crop procurement, fertiliser supply, farmer insurance, and loan support. On education, he raised concerns over mounting fee reimbursement dues and alleged that students were bearing the cost of administrative failures. On employment, he questioned the Congress job calendar and sought clarity on the promised filling of 2 lakh government vacancies.

KTR also alleged that women had been denied promised monthly financial assistance, while BCs, SCs, STs, and minorities had not received committed reservations and welfare support. Government employees, including Anganwadi and ASHA workers, RTC employees, and Singareni workers, were said to have pending PRC and DA-related benefits.

Hyderabad Civic Issues and Upcoming Assembly Session

On Hyderabad's administration, KTR alleged a deterioration in sanitation, infrastructure, and public services. He criticised the government's handling of HYDRAA-related actions and property disputes, and questioned decisions on major infrastructure and public transport projects in the city.

KTR announced a 7-day intensive outreach programme across all 119 constituencies, involving sessions and protests alongside farmers, women, youth, and welfare beneficiaries. He asserted that the BRS would aggressively corner the government in the upcoming Assembly session over unfulfilled promises, economic mismanagement, and a deteriorating law and order situation.
