In a series of public addresses and statements, key political figures, including Union Minister G Kishan Reddy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have criticized the Congress and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) for their roles in the governance of Telangana following the Assembly election that took place 3 months ago. Reddy highlighted Congress's promise to implement six guarantees within 100 days of election victory, while Modi, during his public address in Jagtial, accused both BRS and Congress of betraying public trust and looting the state over the past decade. Modi specifically labeled Telangana as an 'ATM state' for Congress, with looted money allegedly being funneled to Delhi. Accusations also include the mishandling of the Kaleshwaram project and the failure of both parties to fulfill commitments, with Modi and BJP statements suggesting that BRS and Congress are 'partners in crime', not condemning each other's scams and misusing people's faith. Modi further linked the alleged corruption to broader issues of dynastic politics, implicating both parties in scams beyond Telangana, including a liquor scam, and described Congress's actions as making Telangana its 'personal ATM' and crushing the dreams of its people.
