Telangana has experienced constant regression across all sectors since the Congress party came to power. Political analysts argue that while the previous BRS government transformed Telangana into a prosperous state, the Congress government has allegedly implemented policies detrimental to every section of society
Many have expressed concerns over Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s governance style, labeling it arrogant and inefficient. Some party leaders are reportedly voicing their dissatisfaction directly to the high command.
Economic prosperity hinges on attracting investments and fostering growth, but critics claim that the Congress government’s policies have fostered unrest instead. A key controversy revolves around the Musi Riverfront Project and the establishment of the HYDRAA. This initiative has led to the demolition of poor families’ homes, sparking widespread outcry.
In CM’s constituency Kodangal, the government’s approach to land acquisition has drawn sharp criticism. Many attempts were made to forcibly take land from tribal farmers without consultation, with dissenters jailed indiscriminately.
Women protesting these actions have reportedly faced police harassment. One particularly shocking incident involved a farmer being handcuffed while taking him to hospital from the jail, prompting questions about Revanth’s humanity.
In its first year, the Congress government has failed to launch a single new industrial project or attract any major industries to the state. The lack of incentives has reportedly driven industrialists to neighboring states.
Adding to the frustration, Congress leaders are said to be taking credit for projects initiated during the BRS regime by holding grand inauguration ceremonies. The much-publicized MSME policy remains ineffective, as no proper guidelines have been framed. Industry insiders warn that Telangana is losing its competitive edge, with businesses increasingly looking elsewhere.
The Congress party has also come under fire for its handling of the Tollywood film industry, a significant contributor to the state’s economy. Critics accuse the government of creating unnecessary conflicts with prominent film personalities, even going so far as to arrest them.
Questions are being raised over the motives behind these actions, with some suggesting that the CM’s ego is obstructing the industry’s growth and activities.
The discontent within Congress is not limited to the public; even ministers and MLAs from the party are reportedly unhappy with CM Revanth Reddy’s leadership. Allegations of unilateral decision-making without consulting the cabinet have further fueled dissatisfaction.
Party veterans are said to be worried about the government’s survival, given the mounting opposition. A senior leader reportedly lamented, “If this continues, it will be impossible to face the people.”
In just one year, the Congress government has faced widespread criticism and internal dissent. Observers warn that if the current trajectory persists, Telangana could face significant economic and social challenges.
