"rythu-bandhu"

BRS working president blamed the Congress for recklessly pushing Telangana into a debt trap while failing to fulfill its key promises.

He said that over 7,000 bereaved farmer families were still awaiting compensation, while more than 450 farmers had taken their own lives in the last 15 months without receiving the financial support due to them

BRS working president Rama Rao emphasised that the economic progress made under Chandrashekhar Rao’s leadership was well-documented, citing the rise in per capita income and Telangana’s contribution to India’s GDP

The official, instead of giving a proper reply to the farmer's question on Rythu Bharosa, asked them to visit the Sangareddy Collector's office with pesticide bottle in hand or to immolate themselves in protest to get Rythu Bharosa

If Rythu Bandhu assistance was extended, bank officials would have returned the passbook, says Molla Swamy

Another 5 lakh acres may also lose assistance; final list of farmers who failed to make it to the list of beneficiaries will be known within a 7-10 days

CM Revanth campaigned rigorously in Maharashtra but the Congress lost and similarly, the party scored a grand zero in Delhi Assembly elections, the BRS working president said

Speaking at Telangana Bhavan on Thursday, Niranjan Reddy, who heads the BRS Study Committee on farmers' Issues, ridiculed Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's claims of providing Rythu Bharosa to farmers and Indiramma Atmeeya Bharosa to farm labourers

Sharing media reports on the hardships faced by farmers on X, Rama Rao criticized the government for neglecting key issues, leaving farmers in Palamuru, Wyra, Bayyaram, and Jagtial struggling to secure support prices for essential crops, as well as access to power and fertilizers.

Says the Congress government was trying to implement the Rythu Bharosa scheme keeping in mind the upcoming local bodies elections

Predict that the party will lose any election held in the State within the next few months, as the farmers were eager to express their dissatisfaction at the polls

After securing power, the Congress government reduced the Rythu Bharosa scheme to just Rs 6,000 per acre per season, far below the Rs 7,500 per season they promised, says the former Minister

Chief Minister says the financial assistance will be released from January 26; blames the current financial condition of the State for his inability to keep his promise

BRS working president to hold awareness programmes against Congress conspiracies to scrap scheme

Despite meeting for several times and six months of brainstorming, the sub-committee is facing challenges as there was no unanimity in the issue of dispensing with certain old norms.

The government is all set for launching the programme in less than a fortnight.

According to the new guidelines that are in consideration, Rythu Bharosa assistance is proposed to be restricted to only the land holdings where farmers raise crops.

Criticises government for failing to purchase paddy effectively, leaving farmers with unsold produce despite producing 1.53 crore tonnes during Vaanakalam season

The BRS government had offered 4.5 lakh podu pattas to tribal and other community farmers. These farmers cultivate only one crop in a year due water availability and if restrictions were imposed in extending assistance to them under Rythu Bandhu or the new Rythu Bharosa, it would be detrimental to them, he stressed.
