Mr. Waliullah said that huge promises were made with the people of Greater Hyderabad in the GHMC election held in 2016 and 2021.
Citing instances, he said lakhs of applications were collected from the poor people by the TRS and MIM parties promising 2BHK houses after the 2016 poll.
However, all those applications were thrown in the dust bin once the elections were over. Similarly, thousands of people who suffered losses due to heavy rains were promised Rs. 10,000 compensation. Although the amount was too less compared to the actual losses, this amount too was not paid after the elections, he alleged.
The Congress leader said that almost 80 per cent of nearly 18 lakh jobless youth who had registered themselves with the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) hail from Hyderabad and at least 40 per cent of them belong to Muslim and other minority communities.
Lakhs of people lost their jobs and other sources of employment during the lockdown period. Therefore, unemployment is the major issue concerning minorities, he said.
Mr Waliullah said that the Hyderabad Congress Minorities Department would prepare a strategy to conduct subject-wise protest meetings to create awareness among the people while building pressure upon the TRS Government to solve those problems.
“TPCC President has given a broad direction on how the Congress leaders should approach the people to re-connect them with the party.
We will follow his direction and ensure that the party regains its hold among minorities of Telangana, especially in Hyderabad,” he said.(UNI)
