Hyderabad: The Congress has challenged the TRS government, especially Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, for an open debate on its performance during the 17 months in Telangana State. TPCC president N Uttam Kumar Reddy released a booklet "50 Questions on 500 days of TRS Misrule" compiled by Leader of Opposition in the Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir at Gandhi Bhavan, here on Thursday.

TPCC President Uttam Kumar Reddy speaking to the media after releasing a booklet, while Congress leader Shabbir Ali takes a look at it at Gandhi Bhavan on ThursdaySpeaking to mediapersons later, Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that the TRS government has been making false claims on its performance. Beginning with a U-turn on the promise of making a Dalit as Chief Minister, KCR first cheated the families of Telangana martyrs by restricting their number to 481. Similarly, the cases related to Telangana agitation have not been withdrawn and hundreds of students were still facing trial in the courts.

He also said KCR sacked a Dalit Deputy CM Dr T Rajaiah on the charges of indulging in corrupt activities. However, KCR himself did not follow the suit despite being questioned by the CBI in the alleged ESI hospitals’ scam. Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the TRS government also failed to fulfil major promises including 12 per cent reservation for Muslims and STs, 2BHK houses, KG to PG free education and crop loan waiver scheme.

Although KCR had promised to implement naxalites agenda, Shruti and Vidya Sagar were killed in an alleged encounter on the charges of being Maoists. He also questioned KCR's silence on Alair encounter wherein five Muslim under-trials were killed by the police in broad daylight. He said that the booklet compiled by Shabbir Ali would be circulated among voters in Warangal and answers would be sought from the TRS leaders.

Shabbir Ali ridiculed KCR's claim wherein he stated that almost 99 per cent of the promises he made have been fulfilled. He said not even 9 per cent of the promises were fulfilled by the TRS government. He said the Congress was ready for an open debate on the issue before the media and the public in the TRS Bhavan.

Deputy Floor Leader in Legislative Council, Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy said that this was the first set of 50 questions and many more questions on other issues would follow soon. Congress MLC Akula Lalitha was also present on the occasion.
