Telangana BJP Chief and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy has sharply criticized the economic policies of both the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), now known as BRS, and the current Congress-led state government. He accused these administrations of derailing the state’s economy, particularly pointing out the issue of delayed payments to government employees as a sign of financial mismanagement. Speaking at an event in Hyderabad, Kishan Reddy called for a change in leadership and emphasized that only a “double-engine government” under the BJP could restore fiscal discipline and deliver a corruption-free governance system in the state.
“The policies of the previous BRS government and the current Congress leadership have caused irreparable damage to Telangana’s economy,” Kishan Reddy said. He elaborated that these “ill-conceived policies” have led to financial instability, manifesting in delayed salary payments to government employees. This issue, he argued, highlights the lack of effective management and governance in the state.
Reddy also pointed out that over the past decade, no central minister from the BJP-led government had faced any corruption charges, contrasting the track record of the Congress and BRS governments. This, he argued, was evidence of the BJP’s commitment to clean and transparent governance. He reiterated that under BJP’s leadership, Telangana would witness the restoration of financial integrity and stability.
In his speech, Kishan Reddy highlighted how the BJP emerged as a viable alternative to the state’s ruling parties during the last Lok Sabha elections. Many people, disillusioned with the state’s leadership, turned to BJP for its promises of better governance. According to Reddy, the BJP’s policies and governance track record on the national level have earned the trust of the people of Telangana, drawing them towards the party for change.
Reddy’s remarks were made during an event where several leaders from other political parties in the Khairatabad Assembly segment joined the BJP. This event marked a significant political development in the region, with BJP expanding its influence ahead of upcoming elections. The move is seen as part of BJP’s broader strategy to strengthen its foothold in Telangana, aiming to increase its voter base in the state.
Earlier, the BJP’s OBC Morcha in Telangana released a new year diary, marking the beginning of the year with new initiatives. The event was attended by BJP General Secretary Dr. Kasam Venkateshwarlu, OBC Morcha State President G. Anand Goud, and other party leaders, signaling the party’s ongoing efforts to connect with various social groups and broaden its support base across the state.
The BJP’s focus on addressing issues like corruption and financial mismanagement resonates with a significant portion of Telangana’s electorate, who have been increasingly vocal about the inefficiencies of the state’s ruling parties. Kishan Reddy’s call for a ‘double-engine government’ is part of the BJP’s larger narrative of presenting itself as the only party capable of bringing economic stability and transparency to the state.
Reddy’s strong stance on corruption also aligns with the BJP’s national narrative, where the party has often contrasted itself with Congress and other regional parties by claiming to have a cleaner governance record. As Telangana moves toward elections, the BJP is working to solidify its message of transparency, accountability, and economic revival, with a particular focus on areas like financial management, governance, and public welfare.
The BJP’s campaign in Telangana is expected to focus heavily on these issues, aiming to position itself as the solution to the state’s economic and governance challenges. Kishan Reddy’s remarks on the delayed salaries of government employees are a clear indication of the party’s strategy to highlight perceived failures of the current state government, contrasting them with the BJP’s commitment to timely and efficient governance.
In conclusion, the Telangana BJP’s message is clear: only under BJP’s leadership can the state expect a return to financial stability, a transparent government, and an end to corruption. As the state gears up for future elections, the BJP’s focus will likely remain on these core issues, with Kishan Reddy at the forefront of advocating for a ‘double-engine government’ to restore faith in governance and economic management in Telangana.
