NEW DELHI : Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday that it is time to return to an era of people-centered governance in India, claiming that the BRS government is “incapable” of meeting the needs of the people of Telangana. Gandhi also posted a video on his YouTube channel from a recent visit to the home of the family of a farmer who committed suicide in Telangana in 2020. The former Congress chief emphasised the party’s guarantees in Telangana in his post, saying they are intended to provide a minimum floor to the people of the state. “As Mahatma Gandhi once said, the most important voice is the last one in queue.” Kummari Chandrayya’s voice was one such example.And the ‘Dorala’ BRS government let him down. He was a Telangana small farmer struggling to make ends meet and burdened by debt. “He died by suicide, leaving behind his loving family,” Gandhi said, sharing a video of his visit to the farmer’s family. “Had he received government assistance at the appropriate time, he would still be alive and among his loved ones.” “A ‘Dorala’ government, such as that of the BRS and the BJP, is incapable of meeting the needs of the people of Telangana,” the Congress leader claimed. “Would a Congress administration make a difference?” Yes, absolutely!” Gandhi stated.He claimed that the Congress guarantees are a manifestation of the aspirations of crores of such last-in-line voices. “Our Guarantees are intended to provide a bare minimum for our people in Telangana.” Kummari Tirupathamma told me that her family is still struggling under the weight of debt. “This will soon change,” he predicted. The Congress’ ‘Prajala government’ will give women Mahalakshmi, Rs 2,500 per month, free bus travel and petrol cylinders for Rs 500. According to Rythu Bharosa, the party has also promised farmers Rs 15,000 per year and agri labourers Rs 12,000 per year. “Our current battle is to ensure Nyay, Justice for all of our people.” “It is time to usher in a new era of people-centered governance in India,” Gandhi declared. Gandhi is seen in the video listening to the family’s problems and instructing a local Congress leader to ensure that the soil of the family’s infertile land is tested and ownership is transferred to the widow of the deceased farmer who committed suicide. The Congress is attempting to depose the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government of K Chandrashekhar Rao in Telangana.
