BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha launched a scathing attack on the Congress-led Telangana Government, accusing it of pushing the state into a financial crisis with reckless borrowing while failing to deliver on electoral promises.
She demanded a white paper on the Rs 1.52 lakh crore borrowed by the government in the last 15 months, revealing where the funds had been utilized.
Addressing the media at the Telangana Bhavan, Kavitha said that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s administration had completely neglected the public while ensuring timely payments to contractors.
“Women were promised Rs 2,500 per month. Brides were promised 10 grams of gold. Young women expected electric scooters. Farmers were assured loan waivers and bonuses. But not even a single promise has been implemented. The only people benefiting from the policies of this government are the big contractors while commoners are left waiting,” she said.
Dismissing the Chief Minister’s claims that the state is facing a financial crisis, Kavitha presented data showing that Telangana is financially sound.
“Telangana generates Rs 18,000 crore in revenue every month, while expenses amount to Rs 6,000 crore. Where is the crisis? The Chief Minister went to New Delhi and claimed that the state could not afford capital expenditure of Rs 500 crore, but the reality is that Telangana spends Rs 3,000 crore every month on infrastructure. These false claims are tarnishing Telangana’s reputation at the national level,” she said.
She accused the Congress government of lacking a vision for development, claiming that its governance was based on deception. “This government made ‘420’ promises and delivered none. Rs 1.52 lakh crore has disappeared without any benefit for the public. Where has the money gone?”
Taking to social media, Kavitha amplified her attack, stating, “15 months, Rs 1,50,000,00,00,000 Debt. Women didn’t get the promised Rs 2,500. No gold, no scooters, no pensions, no infrastructure. But Revanth Reddy garu got his chair and people got betrayed. Rs 1.5 lakh crore vanished. Where did the money go if it didn’t go to the people?”
Kavitha warned that the people of Telangana would not forgive this “betrayal” and demanded immediate accountability from the Congress Government. She asserted that the BRS would continue to expose the failures of the administration and press for financial transparency.
