Congress Sunday alleged that the ruling TRS had not fufilled any electoral promise and demanded that caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao explain why he dissolved the assembly nine months ahead of schedule if people were happy with the government's performance.

Addressing a meeting at Gandhi Bhavan here, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee President N Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that the KCR government has disappointed all sections of society with its 'misrule' for four-and-a-half years.

Sensing the rising dissent and anger among people towards the government, KCR (as Rao is popularly known as)dissolved the Assembly to advance the elections, a party release quoted Uttam Kumar Reddy as saying.

"If everything was going on well, then why did KCR not complete his full term?" Uttam asked.

Reddy alleged that all sections of society, including women, youth, students, Dalits, Girijans, BCs, Muslims and others were feeling betrayed by the TRS government and were waiting for the next elections 'to take revenge.'
