Congress failed to fulfil Youth Declaration promises: KTR
BRS leader K.T. Rama Rao has accused the ruling Congress government in Telangana of failing to fulfill election promises made to the youth. He challenged the government's job creation statistics and demanded accountability for the 'Youth Declaration' pledges.
Why it matters
This reflects the intense political rivalry in Telangana and the critical role of youth employment as a central issue in regional electoral politics.
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao on Saturday (July 18, 2026) called upon the unemployed youth in Telangana to write a “death declaration” for the ruling Congress party leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, accusing them of deceiving the youth by failing to fulfil the promises made in the ‘ Youth Declaration’ before coming to power.
However, he admitted that the BRS government had committed some mistakes regarding paper leaks and expressed regret over those failures.
Addressing the ‘Yuva Sangrama Sadassu’ at the Saroornagar Stadium in Hyderabad, KTR said he would quit politics if the Congress government proved that it had filled 70,000 jobs through notifications issued by it, arguing that several of the recruitment notifications had been indeed issued during the BRS tenure.
