The ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana has criticized Rahul Gandhi, calling him an "outdated leader" as it gears up to counter the challenge of Congress in the upcoming assembly elections in the state. The Congress plans to announce its five guarantees for Telangana and release a chargesheet against the BRS government on September 17. BRS leader K Kavitha claimed that the Congress is making promises that have already been implemented by the BRS and questioned Rahul Gandhi's ability to counter Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
