BRS MLC K Kavitha criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday, challenging him to prove that any Congress-ruled state had provided one additional job compared to Telangana government.
Responding to the affidavit signed by Telangana Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Bhatti Vikramarka, pledging to fulfil six guarantees for the people of Telangana, Kavitha expressed scepticism about the Congress party’s promises, describing them as unreasonable and absurd.
She specifically challenged Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party, stating that if they could demonstrate providing even one extra job in any state under their governance compared to Telangana, she would personally resign from politics.
“Will Mr Rahul Gandhi resign from politics if you can’t prove it. If you can’t prove it, don’t lie to the unemployed youth of Telangana. Do not cheat people, do not cheat our people using bond papers,” she further said.
K Kavitha asserted that despite the Congress party signing bond papers in Karnataka and making promises during the Assembly polls, none of the commitments have materialised. She alleged that the Congress, ahead of the Karnataka Assembly elections, assured to initiate the process of filling 2.60 lakh jobs within 100 days of forming the government, but to date, no progress has been observed. In contrast, Kavitha highlighted that the BRS government in Telangana has issued notifications for 2.32 lakh job vacancies, with 1.60 lakh positions already filled. Bhatti Vikramarka, in a post on “X,” affirmed his commitment to implementing the six guarantees for the people of Telangana by signing an affidavit in the presence of God.
