The document alleged that the Mahalakshmi scheme’s monthly payout for women, the ₹4,000 pension pledge, education-assurance cards for students, and the ₹500 gas cylinder promise were also put on the back burner.
Regarding education and unemployment, the document cites the stalled two lakh jobs target, delayed job calendar, plans to reduce the number of government schools, merger of polytechnics with Young India Skills University, stalled teacher recruitment, fee-reimbursement arrears, and more as major failures of the Revanth Reddy administration.
The party also alleged that Telangana’s negotiating position on Krishna and Godavari waters has weakened the state, and that the government has not prioritised the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS).
BRS accused the government of betraying the marginalised communities of the state by sidelining subsidies, contracts, and welfare schemes. The party further alleged that employees, pensioners, factory workers, auto drivers, and migrant labourers were all victims of the government’s deceit.
The “chargesheet” claimed that under Congress, the state’s debt burden reached roughly ₹4.5 lakh crore, and alleged that Revanth surrendered Telangana’s self-respect with his “servitude” to Delhi.
