Congress party has accused the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party and its ally All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) of misusing the Legislative Assembly to deceive minority communities ahead of the next elections and alleged that Akbaruddin Owaisi has been repeating the same questions for the past nine years, while Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has been responding with the same empty assurances.
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Minorities Department chairman Shaik Abdullah Sohail alleged on Monday that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and MIM floor leader Akbaruddin Owaisi have been engaging in a “question-answer drama” to falsely claim their commitment to minority welfare. He claimed that the BRS and AIMIM have turned the Legislative Assembly into an election platform where they strategically exchange questions and answers to benefit each other’s electoral prospects.
Mr. Sohail accused the AIMIM MLAs of not holding the BRS government accountable for its failures in releasing funds and implementing welfare schemes meant for minorities. The government has not provided details of the funds allocated for minority welfare, their utilization, and the schemes implemented during the last nine years. The welfare schemes had been delayed or stalled due to budgetary constraints, but the government’s responses in the Assembly gave the impression that all issues were resolved.
