Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao on Wednesday claimed that the Congress government in Telangana raised debt of more than Rs 50,000 crore in just eight months.

The former minister said this debt was without the government adding a single new infrastructure project.

KTR, as the BRS leader is popularly known, said the Congress spread canards and half-truths about BRS driving the state’s debt up but was now breaking all sorts of records.
