Hyderabad: Senior BRS leader and Siddipet MLA T Harish Rao termed the newly released guidelines for the farm loan waiver scheme as unfair, stating that such restrictions reveal a lack of commitment to genuinely helping farmers. He said the Congress went back on its promise of extending the scheme to all farmers after coming to power.
“Promising one thing and delivering another has become a habit of the Congress,” he said, taking a dig at the ruling party. He felt that excluding farmers who took loans after December 12, 2018, is unreasonable.
Taking to X, Harish Rao said by imposing restrictions, the State government focused more on reducing the financial burden on the government’s exchequer rather than the debt burden of the farmers. Declaring the ration card and PM-KISAN data as eligibility criteria means shattering the hopes of lakhs of farmers,” he added.

He argued that all promises made by the Congress came with riders, imposed only after coming to power. “The guidelines are unfair and disappointing. They do not reflect the promises made during the elections,” he said.
