"congress-government"

Nama Nageswara Rao said that there was a serious dissent growing among the people against the Congress government which came to power by giving fraudulent promises before the Assembly elections.

On Friday, Senior BJP leader and Opposition leader, R. Ashoka, condemned the Congress government, attributing such incidents in the state to the "politics of appeasement."

The BRS is gearing up to address the matter decisively, intending to emphasize it throughout its electoral campaign.

Leader of Opposition and BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao drew attention to the Congress's failure to fulfill key promises made to farmers, including the Rythu Bandhu scheme and Rs.500 bonus per quintal for paddy.

Kishan Reddy demanded Rs 25,000 per acre compensation for farmers affected by crop damage due to irrigation water shortages, staging a 'Rythu Deeksha' at the state BJP headquarters.

BRS MLA Palla Rajeshwar Reddy said the delay in paddy procurement by the State govt was forcing farmers to sell their produce to private traders in open market for just Rs 1,500-1,700 per quintal

The Former Minister has demanded the government to release three DAs immediately by obtaining the permission from Election Commission.

Stating that it was not possible for the Congress government to protect the interests of farmers by supplying water to standing crops, he said the BRS would fight on behalf of the farming community.

The delegation demanded the Congress government to solve the problems faced by the people and farmers, to pay compensation of Rs 25, 000 per acre to the farmers who have lost crops, to give an additional bonus of Rs 500 for paddy and address drinking water shortage.

When the BRS was in power, Smitha Sabharwal used to monitor the supply on a daily basis. But the Congress government was not ensuring such supervision.

The Congress government had completely failed in supplying water to Yasangi crops, even after failing to prevent the drought situation.

Paddy growers, who have been finding it tough to get a remunerative price for their produce, have pinned hopes on the promise.

It has been months since the beneficiaries were allotted ownership certificates, but they are yet to be allowed to occupy their flats. Worried over the delay in permitting occupation of their flats, many beneficiaries on Sunday resolved to form an umbrella organization, the 2BHK Welfare Association.

Mild tension prevailed when Congress workers countered the BRS activists.

On Saturday, former TNGO leader Devi Prasad stated that the Congress government was explaining the delay in providing Rythu Bandhu assistance to farmers by citing its dedication to ensuring government employees receive their salaries promptly on the first of each month.

All key party figures, such as MLAs, MLCs, and MPs, departed from the party headquarters in Hyderabad, Telangana Bhavan, for Medigadda.

Farmers were already facing a water crisis and officials had declared that water could not be provided after March 31.

During the debate on caste census in the Assembly on Friday, the Chief Minister said the promises implemented from 2004 to 2014 should also be discussed.

Congress had won an absolute majority in Telangana for the first time since the state was founded, winning 64 of 119 seats.

Reminding the State government of the Congress promise to allocate Rs.1 lakh crore for the BC development and welfare in five years, Kavitha demanded that BCs should be given a budgetary allocation of Rs.20,000 crore right from the current year.
