Elaborating on the various initiatives launched by the BRS government for the welfare of toddy tappers, he has said that they have waived the tax for tapping the toddy besides allowing the toddy tappers to run their business without giving any bribes. Stating that the BRS was giving political opportunities to the Gouda community, he said that the Chief Minister made Srinivas Goud as Minister, and Swamy Goud as first Chairman of the Legislative Council in Telangana.

Rao said that the government will install the Sardar Sarvai Papanna Goud statue on the tank bund by spending Rs 3 crore to honour him and the community.
