Jubilee Hills bypoll: "On what basis Revanth Reddy asking for votes again...need to teach Congress a lesson," says KTR

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 12 (ANI): Bharath Rashtra Samithi Working President KT Rama Rao on Sunday hit out at the Revanth Reddy government over their "unfulfilled promises", asking on what basis the Congress leader is asking for votes again in the Jubilee Hills bypoll.
KTR alleged that promises made by the Congress, including monthly cash transfers of Rs 2,500 to women and promises of one tola of gold to brides, had not been fulfilled yet.
Addressing party workers and supporters in Jubilee Hills ahead of the bye-election, KTR said, "Revanth Reddy promised that he will provide Rs 2,500 to every woman. Did he give that to anyone for two years? He also said he will provide one tola of gold to girls at the time of their marriage. Did anyone get one tola of gold? On what basis are you asking for votes again?...We need to teach Congress a lesson."
BRS Working President urged voters to hold the Congress accountable in the Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election.
The remarks come ahead of the bye-election for the 61-Jubilee Hills Assembly Constituency, which will take place on November 11, with the counting of votes scheduled for November 14.
