Telangana Congress leader B Mahesh Kumar Goud launched a strong attack on K. T. Rama Rao (KTR) and his family, accusing them of large-scale corruption and misuse of political power. Goud, who serves as the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) working president, mocked the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) by calling it the “Bhrashtachar Rakshana Samithi,” meaning the “anti-corruption protection organisation.” His remarks came during an interaction with the media, where he alleged that the KCR-led family turned Telangana into their “personal empire” through unethical governance practices. Goud claimed that public funds were diverted to benefit a close circle of industrialists and political associates, leaving ordinary citizens to bear the consequences of stalled welfare programs and unemployment. This outburst adds to the escalating war of words between the Congress and BRS in Telangana, especially in the aftermath of the Congress government taking charge in the state. The Congress has been consistently highlighting alleged irregularities under the previous BRS regime, particularly in infrastructure and irrigation projects such as the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme, which the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had earlier flagged for procedural violations and inflated costs. Goud’s statements echo this larger narrative of the Congress aiming to project itself as a “clean governance alternative” to BRS’s alleged legacy of corruption and nepotism. Meanwhile, the BRS leadership has dismissed these accusations as “politically motivated theatrics,” asserting that Congress is attempting to deflect attention from its own governance challenges since coming to power. #TelanganaPolitics #MaheshKumarGoud #KTR #BRS #CongressVsBRS #CorruptionAllegations #TelanganaNews
