The AICC chief, Mallikarjun Kharge, addressed the people of Hyderabad on Saturday. He mentioned that without the support of the Congress party and Sonia Gandhi’s concern for the people of Telangana, the separate state would not have become a reality. He criticized KCR, stating that he does not have the capacity to make it happen.
Kharge also accused KCR of going back on his word to support the Congress after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. He claimed that KCR, who claims to be secular, had a secret understanding with the BJP and is in regular touch with Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Kharge pointed out that KCR remained silent when 26 parties united to defeat the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre.
Kharge urged the people of Telangana to defeat both the BRS and the BJP. He promised that if the Congress party is voted to power, they will fulfill all the promises made in their election manifesto. He also called for unity among party leaders if they want Congress to come back to power in the state.
Kharge mentioned Amit Shah’s upcoming meeting in Khammam and said that Shah will question the Congress party’s actions. He provided a detailed list of various programs and policies to TPCC president A Revanth Reddy and asked him to make it public.
Finally, Kharge released the party’s 12-point ‘SC, ST’ declaration. The declaration includes reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, financial support for SCs and STs, reservation in state government contracts, and the establishment of corporations for SCs and STs with specific budgets for their development.
