Addressing the gathering, Krishna Rao, who is also the district in-charge minister, said: “During its 10-year rule, the BRS failed Telangana in all aspects. It created a financial crisis and left the state in Rs 7 lakh crore debt.”
“Our government is committed to implementing all the assurances given to the people during the elections. We have so far fulfilled six guaranties and the remaining promises will be fulfilled in the due to course,” he said.
“Unable to digest this fact, the BRS is trying to damage the image of Congress government. It’s time for the Congress cadre to give a befitting reply to the false propaganda being spread by the BRS leaders,” he added.
