Rythu Bharosa released in Patancheru after BRS threat to block Outer Ring Road
Rythu Bharosa assistance was released to over 27,000 farmers in Patancheru constituency after the BRS threatened to block the ORR. Farmers from 48 villages had initially been excluded from the disbursement despite a Statewide release announced by the Chief Minister
Hyderabad: Over 27,000 farmers cultivating crops across 22,000 acres in Patancheru constituency received Rythu Bharosa assistance on Tuesday and Wednesday, following pressure from the BRS party. The Congress government released the funds after BRS leaders threatened to block the Outer Ring Road (ORR) over the delay.
Although Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy had announced that Rythu Bharosa assistance would be disbursed to farmers across the State on June 27, the farmers in 48 villages spread across RC Puram, Ameenpur, Patancheru, and Jinnaram mandals were left out.
In response, the BRS organised a massive protest, during which senior leader T Harish Rao warned that the party would block the ORR if the government failed to release the assistance. Yielding to the pressure, the government released the Rythu Bharosa amount to the affected farmers.
