Speaking on the occasion, Sunitha Lakshma Reddy lashed at the Congress government for denying Rythu Bharosa for the Kharif. Recalling how the former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao implemented the scheme without any interruption, Reddy said that Revanth cheated the people of the State by promising to increase the incentive from Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000.

However, she said that Revanth’s government could not release anything so far. The situation turned a bit tense in Raipole mandal headquarters of Siddipet district as police tried to prevent the burning of the effigy. However, the BRS cadre persisted and demanded the police permit them to organise the protests. Even the police attempted to confiscate the effigy, but the BRS cadre prevailed in their attempt.
