"rythu-bandhu"

Many farmers were insisting that bonus should be paid than extending Rythu Bandhu assistance, he said.

Despite record production of paddy and good yields from cotton crops too, the State has witnessed a tragic spike in farmer suicides. The farmer community has been left in shock and grief in many villages.

KTR warned of State-wide protests if the injustices continued, asserting that the BRS would hold similar dharnas across all 119 constituencies.

"Revanth Reddy has not fulfilled any promises from the Warangal Declaration. Farmers remain distressed, and the schemes introduced during KCR’s regime, like Rythu Bandhu, Bathukamma sarees, and KCR kits, have been scrapped," he said.

The move is evoking strong criticism from many sections as people are questioning the rationale behind spending Telangana funds for Maharashtra elections

He noted that while many promises remain unkept at home, Revanth Reddy was now attempting to deceive Maharashtra voters with empty rhetoric.

Niranjan Reddy criticized Revanth Reddy for lowering the dignity of the Chief Minister's office by constantly attacking BRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao

The Civil Supplies department promised to purchase 8.16 lakh tonnes of paddy in October itself. But as on October 28, only 7,629 tonnes of paddy has been purchased from 913 farmers," he said.

Harish Rao accused the Congress government of neglecting crucial schemes and criticised Revanth Reddy's disrespect toward Telangana's cultural and religious values

This decision comes as a significant blow to over 70 lakh farmers who have been eagerly checking their bank accounts daily, expecting the remittance of the Rythu Bandhu assistance for the Vanakalam (Kharif season).

He pointed out that the Chief Minister was claiming that the State was drowning in debts while simultaneously initiating grand programmes like the Musi project with Rs 1.5 lakh crore.

Harish Rao warned that if the Congress government failed to provide loan waiver amount to all the farmers, BRS leaders and workers would take the fight to Delhi and stage a protest in front of Gandhi's residence

Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, Laxman said the Congress party came to power by making several promises, but it failed to deliver it even after ten months.

The delay in the implementation of the loan waiver scheme has left many farmers in a state of uncertainty, impacting their financial stability and ability to secure new loans.

As of September 12, sowing operations have been completed in only 1.23 crore acres, around 95 per cent of the normal cultivation area of 1.29 crore acres for the ongoing Vanakalam season.

Agriculture experts feel that if the banks turn their back on farmers, they would be forced to approach private lenders which will in turn land them in a debt trap.

The farmers took out a protest rally to the collectorate and staged rasta-roko bringing vehicular flow to a standstill for a while.

The district BRS president said that Rs 15,000 crore of rupees were deposited in the accounts of farmers under the Rythu Bandhu scheme in just one year during the previous government's tenure.

The latest BRS initiative to be selected for the name changing game is the Palle Pragathi programme, which has been renamed as 'Swacchadanam – Pacchadanam'.

In the 9 days that the Assembly met, spanning over 65.3 hours, including for one record 17 hour session till 3.15 am, speeches by 132 members and five bills passed apart from two short discussions, meaningful discussions were rare, with the Government refusing discussions even on topics like the much hyped job calendar.
