'People of Maharashtra rejected false narrative': BRS leader KTR tears into Congress after poll defeat

Hyderabad: Telangana's Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president, KT Rama Rao (KTR), launched a scathing critique of Congress and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, accusing them of spreading "false propaganda" that was decisively rejected by the people of Maharashtra, media reports said.

KTR's remarks came in response to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) resounding victory in Maharashtra, reported India Today.

"The people of Maharashtra have seen through Congress' betrayal in Telangana, where it failed to fulfill its poll promises, and have rejected the party outright," KTR alleged, the report said.

He criticized Congress for spending Rs 300 crore of Telangana taxpayers’ money on "false advertisements" that, according to him, failed to sway Maharashtra's voters.

KTR also accused Congress of making contradictory promises in Telangana and Maharashtra.

"While they pledged Rs 3,000 in Maharashtra, they couldn't deliver Rs 2,500 to 1.6 crore women in Telangana," he remarked, reported India Today.

Turning his attention to the Jharkhand elections, KTR noted that Congress failed to form a government independently and had to rely on the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM).

In the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly, Chief Minister Hemant Soren's JMM-led INDIA bloc crossed the majority mark to form the government.

Speaking to the media about the Assembly results, KTR highlighted the growing importance of regional parties in Indian politics.

"The outcomes in Maharashtra and Jharkhand demonstrate the public's dissatisfaction with national parties like the BJP and Congress. They underscore the significance of respecting regional aspirations," he said.
