Telangana Revenue, Housing, and Information Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy on Saturday challenged the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leadership to ask its MLAs to resign and contest fresh by-elections if they were confident about public support.Responding to criticism from BRS leaders, the Minister said the Congress government, led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, has been implementing governance in line with the aspirations of the people. He claimed that the party’s electoral victories in local body polls and recent by-elections reflected continued public confidence in the government.
Ponguleti stated that the people had given the Congress a five-year mandate in the 2023 Assembly elections and questioned the opposition’s demand for the dissolution of the Assembly after only two-and-a-half years of the government’s tenure.”If the BRS leadership truly believes the people are against this government, they should ask their MLAs to resign and seek a fresh mandate through by-elections,” the Minister said.In a post on social media, Ponguleti also alleged that the Congress would continue to receive public support and asserted that the BRS would face political setbacks in future elections.The remarks come amid an escalating political confrontation between the ruling Congress and the opposition BRS over governance, development, and public welfare issues in Telangana.
