Sravan accuses Revanth Reddy of using BC identity to mask unfulfilled promises to BCs
Hyderabad: BRS MLC Sravan Dasoju on Friday accused Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy of misusing the Backward Classes (BC) identity to cover up his government’s failures. He said the Congress government had not fulfilled a single promise made to BCs in the 2023 Kamareddy Declaration. According to him, the chief minister reduced the community’s aspirations to a political stunt instead of genuine empowerment.
Sravan described the government’s approach to BC welfare as shallow and opportunistic. He said it focused only on political optics. The chief minister, he alleged, was using the BC identity to hide inefficiency. He recalled that the Congress raised high hopes through the Kamareddy Declaration but failed to act later. He said the BC caste survey was hurried and unscientific, serving only as a publicity exercise.
Sravan lists financial and institutional failures
Holding a copy of the declaration, Sravan listed several unfulfilled promises. He said the Congress had failed to grant statutory status to the Mahatma Jyotiba Phule BC Sub-Plan and did not allocate Rs 20,000 crore annually for BC welfare. The BRS leader pointed out that the government had not spent even a part of the Rs 1 lakh crore promised over five years.
He said there was no progress on setting up a separate Ministry for Most Backward Classes. Welfare corporations for each BC caste were also not created. He noted that the government had ignored its pledge to give BC youth interest-free and collateral-free loans of up to Rs 10 lakh.
Welfare and education promises remain unfulfilled
Sravan said the government did not build Prof. Jayashankar BC Aikyatha Bhavans in any district, each planned to cost Rs 50 crore. New Gurukulams in every mandal and degree colleges in each district for BC students also remained on paper.
He added that the government failed to provide full fee reimbursement for students from families earning below Rs 3 lakh. It also ignored the plan to set up “Vruthi Bazaars” for artisans and to lower the pension eligibility age for those in traditional occupations. Elections for BC corporations and federations were never held. Sravan said the government had not even taken the first step toward implementation.
‘Announcements without action’ and political theatrics
Sravan accused the chief minister of preferring announcements over action. He said Revanth Reddy was using symbolic gestures in the Jubilee Hills by-election by fielding a BC candidate. Representation alone, Sravan said, cannot replace real empowerment.
He reminded that BCs form more than 52 percent of Telangana’s population and deserve justice, not favours. He challenged the chief minister to release a public status report on every Kamareddy Declaration promise.
Sravan said Revanth Reddy was creating controlled narratives to divert attention from unfulfilled commitments. He urged voters in Jubilee Hills to stay alert and judge the government by its record, not its words. He concluded that the BC community would respond to this betrayal in the next election.
