- BRS plans week-long campaign from Sept 2 against Congress' 1,000 days in office
- KTR directs protests and programmes in villages, wards, mandals, and constituencies
- Campaign targets unfulfilled promises, corruption, administrative failures, and grievances
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is preparing to turn the completion of the Congress government's 1,000 days in office into a major political flashpoint, announcing a week-long statewide campaign from September 2 to highlight what it calls the ruling party's "betrayal" of Telangana voters.
BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) issued directions to party leaders during a teleconference, calling for protests and innovative programmes across villages, wards, mandals and constituencies.
According to party sources, the campaign will focus not only on unfulfilled election promises but also on what the BRS alleges are administrative failures, corruption, irregularities and growing public grievances.
While speaking with party leaders KTR blamed the Revanth Reddy-led Congress government of coming to power on the back of 420 promises, 13 declarations and six guarantees, with assurances that they would be implemented within 100 days.
"The Congress deceived people with 420 promises, 13 declarations and six guarantees. Even after 1,000 days, not a single major promise has been fully implemented," KTR alleged.
The BRS leader directed the party cadre to revive its "Baaki Cards" campaign, listing alleged pending benefits promised to farmers, agricultural labourers, senior citizens, women, students and youth. The cards are intended to put a political price tag on what the BRS describes as the government's unfulfilled commitments.
KTR asked party leaders to highlight alleged fee reimbursement dues exceeding Rs 12,000-crore, particularly among students and parents at colleges across Telangana.
The BRS also plans separate programmes targeting farmers, women, youth, Dalits, Backward Classes (BCs) , tribals, auto drivers, government employees and pensioners, with each programme built around the specific grievances of the concerned section.
"Not just the promises, but the failures of the first 100 days and the government's performance over 1,000 days must be taken to the people on a large scale," KTR said, according to party sources.
With an eye on younger voters, KTR has also asked the party's social-media machinery to develop innovative campaigns. MPs, MLAs, MLCs, former public representatives and grassroots leaders have been directed to participate.
The protest move is seen as another escalation in the BRS-Congress political battle, with the opposition seeking to turn alleged governance failures into a statewide electoral narrative ahead of the next Greater Hyderabad municipal election and the 2028 assembly election.
