He stated that the beneficiaries could avail Raithu Bandhu, Raithu Bheema, crop loans and electric motor pumps and supply of power using the titles.

The MLA further said that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi government was implementing a slew of schemes for the welfare of the agrarian community. He stated that Rao stood as a role model to the country by implementing various innovative schemes and taking up unprecedented developmental activities in Telangana. He added that all sections were being benefited by the schemes and development.

Konappa further said that tribals could now happily cultivate various crops without feeling insecure over ownership of the lands and no forest officials would harass them for tilling the lands. In the past, tribals were living in the grip of fear that the lands would be retrieved. He stated that tribals would be indebted to Rao for issuing the land titles forever. Collector Hemanth Borkade and local leaders of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) were present.
