Fund crunch in Telangana, TPCC chief blames BRS rule
The Story in Brief
TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud on Thursday acknowledged a fund crunch in Telangana, blaming the previous BRS government for the financial crisis. Speaking after Congress MLA J. Anirudh Reddy threatened a fast-unto-death over delayed bill payments in Jadcherla, Goud said fund shortages existed in many constituencies, not just Jadcherla. He added that the party's disciplinary action committee would examine Reddy's remarks.
Goud also defended former minister Konda Surekha, who had withdrawn her remarks against BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao. He said the Congress would stand by her and that a related court case would be withdrawn. On electoral rolls, Goud accused the BJP of using the Special Intensive Revision to improve its electoral prospects. The Congress has requested special trains for an INDIA bloc rally on 1 November but alleges pressure from central government offices has denied the request.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources report the TPCC chief blaming the past BRS government for the fund crunch, but they differ in the incident's trigger. Times of India and Telangana Today lead with the MLA's hunger-strike threat, while Deccan Chronicle foregrounds the disciplinary action committee summoning him. The first two frame the MLA's protest as a genuine grievance that forced the party chief to admit the crisis, the third treats it as an outburst requiring party discipline. None of the sources challenge Goud's claim that BRS mismanagement caused the shortage, and no BRS response is reported. The line between a legitimate protest and an indiscipline issue remains unresolved, with the MLA's summons expected next.
