Adilabad farmers send selfie videos to Rahul Gandhi demanding enhanced Rythu Bharosa
The protesting farmers reminded that Rahul Gandhi had promised Rs 15,000 per acre to every farmer, Rs12,000 under Indiramma Athmeeya Bharosa, and Rs 2,500 per month to every woman under the Maha Lakshmi scheme. However, they pointed out that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is now implementing the crop investment support only for farmers of a single village in the mandal.
Adilabad: In a novel protest, farmers have sent selfie videos urging Congress leader Rahul Gandhi through social media platforms, asking him to realise his poll promise of extending enhanced Rythu Bharosa crop investment support of Rs 15,000 per acre at model village Mukhra (K) in Echoda mandal on Monday.
“What have we done wrong, Rahul Gandhi, that Revanth Reddy cannot provide us with financial assistance that was promised?” the farmers asked in the video.
The protesting farmers recalled that Rahul Gandhi had assured them that he would provide 15,000 per acre to every farmer, Rs 12,000 in Indiramma Athmeeya Bharosa, and Rs 2,500 per month to every woman in the Maha Lakshmi scheme, but now your Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is implementing the crop investment support to farmers of only one village in the mandal.
The farmers lamented that the Chief Minister Revanth Reddy could not fulfill the promise you made in the Warangal Declaration. “He did not provide Rythu Bharosa during the Vanakalam season. We raised various crops in Yasangi seaosn and still did not receive the investment support so far,” they said, urging Rahul Gandhi to fulfill his promise to ensure security to farmers at least now.
Farmers were reeling under severe financial crisis due to crop failures and low yeild.
The village Sarpanch Gadge Meenakshi, MPTC Gadge Subhash, Vittal, Prahlad, Datta, Nagnath, Tirupati, Tulsiram and several farmers participated in this programme.
