BRS Protests Across Telangana Over Unfulfilled Congress Promises
The BRS party held protests in several parts of Telangana.
The protests were against the Congress government led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy.
BRS said the government had not completed many promises made before the election.
The party specifically mentioned 420 promises and six guarantees.
Protesters carried signs, cards and a very long banner about the promises.
In Shadnagar, the gathering briefly blocked traffic and delayed vehicles.
Congress said its government had worked on welfare, development and investments.
BRS said it would keep protesting until the promises were implemented.
BRS held statewide protests on Wednesday, accusing the Congress government of failing to fulfil 420 election promises and six guarantees.
Demonstrations took place in Khanapur, Shadnagar and Vemulawada after the government completed 1,000 days in office.
Protesters carried placards, promise cards and a 420-foot flexi highlighting alleged gaps in implementation.
The Shadnagar protest temporarily disrupted traffic on Hyderabad Road and inconvenienced commuters.
The Congress government cited welfare, development and investment efforts, while BRS leaders vowed to intensify their campaign.
