Congress responds to KTR's assertion that Telangana has the greatest per capita income ahead of the state elections.

On Monday, the Congress criticized BRS leader KT Rama Rao for claiming that Telangana had the greatest per capita income in the nation, pointing out that just three districts account for this high income despite the state's population being over 75%. resides in thirty other districts.

Jairam Ramesh, general secretary of the Congress, said that this amounted to a betrayal of the state's balanced development, which was one of the primary drivers for Telangana's inception.

He claimed in a post on X that Telangana had the greatest per capita income in the nation, a claim made by KTR on a regular basis. What are the details? Ramesh said in his article that the RBI states that Karnataka and Haryana have greater per capita incomes than Telangana at constant prices, which is what counts. Tamil Nadu is at the same level but has a considerably bigger population base.

He said that just three districts—Halmagupta, Rangareddy, and Sangareddy—were responsible for Telangana's high per capita income. According to the Congress leader, over 75% of Telangana's population resides in the state's other 30 districts, whose per capita income is lower than the state average.

According to Ramesh, this is only a betrayal of the state's goal of balanced growth, which was one of the primary drivers for Telangana's creation. The BRS working president and son of Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, KT Rama Rao, has been criticizing the government's economic policies and welfare initiatives throughout the election campaign.

Congress is arguing for uneven development in response to their claims. Telangana's 119 assembly seats will be up for election on November 30. Results will be announced on December 3.
