T. Harish Rao (Deputy Floor Leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi) has criticized Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for allegedly betraying tribal communities and failing to support farmers. Speaking at a press conference in Kodangal, Rao pointed out the irony of Reddy discussing governance in Kerala while neglecting the needs of tribal communities in his own constituency. He noted that the BRS government had previously allocated ₹8 crore for a bridge and additional funds for a temple and community center, demonstrating its commitment to tribal welfare. Rao accused the Congress government of not fulfilling its promises to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, citing that while ₹2,730 crore was allocated for the ST Corporation in the 2025-26 budget, only ₹52 crore had been spent. He emphasized the need for proper governance and accountability in addressing the issues faced by these communities.
