As Kharge reaches Hyderabad, posters accusing Congress of violating Constitution put up in Hyderabad

On Friday (July 4, 2025) when All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Mallikarjun Kharge arrived in Hyderabad, posters and flexi banners were put up at several junctions and bus stops targeting the Congress government accusing it of governing with an iron hand violating the Constitution.

The banners without any names of the publishers claimed that the Congress government unleashed violence and atrocities against the people. It was further charged that people were arrested and implicated in false cases for demanding the implementation of [2023 Assembly] poll promises..

Mocking the Congress party’s slogan of “Save the Constitution,” the posters claimed that the government was “Destroying the Constitution” and harassed people in Telangana. The slogans filled with sarcasm included “Jai Bapu, violence is our weapon,” “Jai Bhim, SCs/STs are our goal,” and “Jai Samvidhan, Constitution is of no importance to us.” Pictures of police arresting people were also included in the posters.

The posters appeared overnight, and there was no mention of any political party or the organisations that prepared the posters. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) was asked to remove the posters put up at public places without any permission.

Congress party, however, accused the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) of resorting to cheap politics and said such posters have become a norm whenever a national level Congress leader tours Hyderabad.

The BRS’s desperation to paint the Congress government in a bad light has reached the lowest levels, but there are no takers for its claims as people have not forgotten how it suppressed democratic protests, Congress Media Committee Chairman Sama Ram Mohan Reddy said. The BRS - which closed even the Dharna Chowk - talking about suppression is laughable, he said.
