Hyderabad : Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) on Friday directly questioned Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over what he termed the Congress government’s “betrayal” of Telangana’s unemployed youth, saying the people of Telangana would write the party’s political “death declaration” for failing to honour its promises.
Addressing the Yuva Sangrama Sadassu at Saroor Nagar Stadium, KTR reminded Rahul Gandhi of the Congress’ much-publicised Youth Declaration, unveiled at the same venue three years ago, and asked him to explain why none of its major promises had been fulfilled.
Addressing Rahul Gandhi, KTR said, “Rahul Gandhi ji, you may not understand Telugu, so let me ask you in a language you understand. Do you remember meeting unemployed youth at Ashok Nagar? What happened to your promise of two lakh government jobs in the first year? Where is the Job Calendar? Where is the ₹4,000 monthly unemployment allowance? What happened to the promises of electric scooters for college girls, interest-free loans for youth and the other commitments made in your Youth Declaration?”
KTR also questioned Rahul Gandhi’s silence over the alleged police action against unemployed youth protesting for jobs in Telangana. “You travel across the country holding the Constitution and speaking about democracy. Why are you silent when unemployed youth in Telangana are lathi-charged, arrested and booked for demanding the implementation of your own party’s promises?” he asked.

Declaring that the Congress’ Youth Declaration had turned into a “declaration of betrayal,” KTR said Telangana’s youth had now written the party’s political death declaration. He alleged that the Congress government had failed to deliver on every major employment promise made before the elections.
Launching a sharp attack on the state government, KTR said there were “no notifications, only lootifications,” alleging that instead of creating jobs, the Congress government had become consumed by scams and corruption. He claimed Telangana was witnessing a “scam calendar” rather than a governance calendar and alleged that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy was more interested in pleasing the Congress high command than providing employment opportunities to the state’s youth.
KTR challenged Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to substantiate the government’s claim of filling 70,000 fresh government jobs through new recruitment notifications. “If he proves the claim with evidence, I will permanently retire from politics,” KTR declared.
Highlighting the BRS government’s record, KTR said the previous administration had initiated recruitment for over 2.32 lakh government posts, filled around 1.62 lakh government jobs, and facilitated nearly 27 lakh public and private employment opportunities. He acknowledged that the TSPSC paper leak issue should have been handled more swiftly but maintained that the BRS government had itself detected and acted against the irregularities.
Reaffirming BRS’ commitment to unemployed youth, KTR said he would continue to stand by them “as an elder brother” and assured that a future BRS government under K. Chandrashekar Rao would prioritise transparent recruitment, a comprehensive Job Calendar and employment generation. He urged the people of Telangana to hold the Congress accountable for what he described as its betrayal of the state’s youth.
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) declared that the Congress party has effectively written its own political “death declaration” in Telangana by allegedly betraying the state’s unemployed youth after coming to power. Addressing the Yuva Sangrama Sabha at Saroor Nagar Stadium, KTR said the very venue where Congress unveiled its much-publicized Youth Declaration three years ago has now become the place where Telangana’s youth will deliver their political verdict against the party.
KTR alleged that Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi had made grand promises to unemployed youth during the election campaign but had failed to fulfill even a single major commitment. He described the Youth Declaration as a “document of deception” and asserted that Telangana’s youth would not forgive what he termed as a betrayal of their aspirations.
Addressing Rahul Gandhi , KTR said that since Rahul may not understand Telugu, he wanted to communicate the anguish of Telangana’s unemployed youth in a language he could understand. Referring to Rahul Gandhi’s meetings with job aspirants in Ashok Nagar before the elections, KTR questioned what had happened to the promises of two lakh government jobs, a Job Calendar, ₹4,000 monthly unemployment allowance, interest-free loans for youth, electric scooters for college girls and several other assurances contained in the Congress manifesto.
He accused the Congress government of replacing “notifications” with “lootifications,” alleging that instead of recruiting youth, the government was busy indulging in corruption and financial irregularities. According to KTR, Telangana today is witnessing a “scam calendar” rather than a governance calendar, with scandals replacing development. He further alleged that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy was more interested in filling Rahul Gandhi’s “pockets” than providing jobs to Telangana’s youth.
Criticizing the government’s handling of unemployed youth, KTR alleged that job aspirants protesting peacefully were subjected to police cases, lathi charges and arrests. He accused the Congress government of suppressing democratic voices while claiming to uphold constitutional values at the national level.
KTR also challenged Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to prove the government’s claim of filling 70,000 new government jobs through fresh recruitment notifications. He declared that if the Chief Minister could establish the claim with evidence, he would retire permanently from politics.
Highlighting the BRS government’s record, KTR said the previous administration had initiated recruitment for over 2.32 lakh government posts, filled around 1.62 lakh government jobs and facilitated nearly 2.7 million public and private employment opportunities. He admitted that the TSPSC paper leak episode should have been handled more swiftly, while maintaining that the previous government itself had exposed the irregularities.
Reiterating his commitment to Telangana’s unemployed youth, KTR assured them that BRS would continue to fight democratically for their rights. He said he would stand by every unemployed youth “as an elder brother” and vowed that a future BRS government under K. Chandrashekar Rao would prioritize employment, transparent recruitment and youth welfare.
KTR also alleged that the Congress government had created an atmosphere of corruption that was driving away investments and private employment opportunities, while accusing the BJP of diverting industries away from Telangana. He urged intellectuals, parents and the people of Telangana to recognize what he described as Congress’s failure to honor its promises and to hold the party accountable in the coming elections.
