**Hyderabad Government Criticized By Posters During Congress Visit**

**HYDERABAD, July 4, 2025** – Sarcastic and accusatory posters targeting the Congress government in Telangana sprung up across Hyderabad on Friday, coinciding with the visit of All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Mallikarjun Kharge. The posters, bearing slogans such as “Jai Bapu, violence is our weapon,” and “Jai Samvidhan, Constitution is of no importance to us,” accused the government of violating the Constitution, unleashing violence against the people, and falsely arresting those demanding the implementation of 2023 election promises.

The posters, which included images of police arrests, appeared overnight at various junctions and bus stops. They were reportedly posted without permission, prompting the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) to begin removing them.

The Congress party swiftly accused the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), the former ruling party, of orchestrating the campaign as a smear tactic. Congress Media Committee Chairman Sama Ram Mohan Reddy dismissed the allegations, emphasizing the BRS’s own history of suppressing democratic protests, including the closure of Dharna Chowk.

“The BRS’s desperation to paint the Congress government in a bad light has reached the lowest levels,” stated Reddy.

The identity of those responsible for the posters remains unknown. The incident highlights the ongoing political tensions in Telangana as the Congress government navigates its first term in power.
