**HYDERABAD, May 26, 2025** – Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka has pledged that the Congress government in Telangana will continue its focus on people-centric policies and all-round development for the next 20 years. Speaking at a public meeting in Achampet following the launch of several development projects, Mr. Vikramarka highlighted the success of the government’s welfare programs, positioning Telangana as a model for other states, particularly in its approach to caste census initiatives.

The Deputy Chief Minister launched a scathing critique of the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government, accusing its leader, K. Chandrasekhar Rao, of looting the state during his decade in power. He pointed out the current leader has been ignored by his people for this. He highlighted the current government had cleared Rs 8000 crore in overdue employee payments, and waiving of crop loans of Rs 22,000 crore in one go.

He added the Congress government has focused on filling 57,000 job vacancies, with plans to fill 30,000 more in the near future, in addition to providing self-employment opportunities to eligible youth through the Rajiv Yuva Vikasam scheme. He also defended the government’s support for farmers, including minimum support price payments and a bonus for fine rice.

Mr. Vikramarka further emphasized the government’s commitment to tribal communities through the historic Nallamala Declaration, aimed at providing off-grid power connectivity with a significant investment of ₹12,600 crore, a move he contrasted with the BRS’s perceived lack of attention to tribal empowerment.
