BRS left unpaid bills of ₹40,000 crore in R&B dept., says Komatireddy
Telangana's R&B Minister Komatireddy Venkata Reddy accused the previous BRS government of leaving behind ₹40,000 crore in unpaid bills and significant state debt. He emphasized the current administration's commitment to infrastructure development, specifically road projects in the Mahabubnagar district.
Why it matters
This reflects the ongoing political friction and fiscal accountability debates between the ruling Congress party and the opposition BRS in Telangana.
The previous BRS government had left unpaid bills of nearly ₹40,000 crore relating to works undertaken by the Panchayat Raj, Transport and Roads & Buildings departments, besides burdening the State with debt exceeding ₹8 lakh crore, alleged R&B Minister Komatireddy Venkata Reddy.
The Minister further said that the Congress was bound to comeback in the next elections winning 117 seats despite the BRS party’s only aim to poison people’s minds through a sustained social media campaign with ill-gotten money.
Criticising the BRS, the Minister said the Congress believed in delivering work rather than publicity, while accusing the BRS government of focusing more on publicity than governance.
He was speaking after laying foundation stone for road works worth ₹531 crore under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) in Makthal Assembly constituency, along with Ministers Jupally Krishna Rao and Vakiti Srihari.
