"t-harish-rao"

Former Minister T Harish Rao criticised Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for focusing on events like Miss World while farmers struggled at procurement centres

Rao, who was on his way to Zaheerabad, promptly halted his vehicle after witnessing the accident. He worked alongside BRS leaders and party members to rescue the injured and quickly arranged transport to shift them to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

He stated that the Congress government had reneged on its promises, pushing degree colleges across the State into financial crisis as fee reimbursement dues soared to Rs 800 crore. The prolonged delay, he noted, has left several institutions struggling, with some suspending admissions and even closing down temporarily.

The former minister questioned whether the government intended to continue the Rythu Bima scheme or whether it was quietly discontinued

Remembering the contributions of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, Harish Rao highlighted that the BRS government officially celebrated Basaveshwara Jayanti, erected a bronze statue on Tank Bund in Hyderabad, and allocated Rs 10 crore for the construction of Basava Bhavan in Kokapet to honour his legacy. He emphasized that the best tribute to Basaveshwara is by following his principles of equality and reform.

Speaking to the media at the venue of Sunday’s massive public meeting, he said the rally was expected to attract huge crowds and highlight the party’s unwavering commitment to Telangana’s development. He stressed that the event would serve as a demonstration of the party’s dedication to the state's progress and the transformation it had achieved during its tenure.

Senior BRS MLA T Harish Rao said the apex court's observations, especially its censure over the use of bulldozers during holidays, exposed the deliberate and dangerous environmental destruction by the Revanth Reddy government.

Calling out Finance Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka’s recent claim in Mancherial that interest-free loans worth Rs.21,000 crore were disbursed to women, Harish Rao termed it a publicity stunt. "As per GO 27, interest-free loans are applicable only up to Rs 5 lakh. Women are still paying interest on the remaining Rs.15 lakh," he said.

This comes shortly after it was revealed that the State posted zero per cent growth in GST collections for March 2025 compared to the same month last year

Shortly after the session commenced, BRS MLAs raised slogans demanding an immediate discussion on the crop loan waiver. Led by Harish Rao, they called for the waiver of loans up to ₹2 lakh without delay, even as ministers initiated discussions on the annual State budget's demands for grants. As a mark of protest, the BRS MLAs wore black ribbons and urged the government to support farmers.
