K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), the working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), is criticizing Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for allegedly exaggerating figures on Telangana’s debt and interest payments. KTR cites a recent CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General) report that contradicts the Congress government’s claims.

Telangana Debt Dispute: BRS Leader KTR Accuses Chief Minister of Misleading Public on Finances

HYDERABAD – A war of words has erupted between the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the Congress government in Telangana, with BRS Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) accusing Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy of disseminating false information regarding the state’s debt and interest payments.

KTR, in a statement released Saturday, cited the latest Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report for October, claiming it “completely exposes” the Congress government’s “mathematical manipulation” of financial data.

“Congress leaders repeatedly claim that Telangana is paying ₹6,000 core to ₹7,000 crore every month just towards interest,” KTR stated. “But the CAG’s latest report has proved this to be an utter lie.”

According to KTR, the CAG report indicates that the total interest payment made by the Congress government from April 2025 to October 2025 was ₹16,529.88 crore, averaging ₹2,361.41 crore per month.

KTR further criticized the Congress government for allegedly borrowing ₹2.23 lakh crore in the last 23 months without initiating any major development projects. He contrasted this with the BRS’s 10-year governance, during which, he claims, ₹2.80 lakh crore was invested in projects like Mission Bhagiratha and Kaleshwaram.

KTR is demanding that Chief Minister Reddy publicly apologize for the alleged misinformation and provide full transparency regarding the ₹2.23 lakh crore borrowed and details on loans raised through various corporations over the past seven months.

The Congress government has yet to respond to KTR’s accusations. The debate over Telangana’s financial health is likely to continue as the state approaches upcoming elections.
