‘Tandas turned gram panchayats in Vikarabad under BRS rule’

KCR is the only leader in independent India who introduced Rythu Bandhu, a farmers’ investment support scheme. About 70 lakh farmers were receiving Rythu Bandhu money, 46 lakh people were receiving Rs 2,000 pension, 15 lakh women received KCR Kits, 14 lakh women received Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak scheme in the State - KT Rama Rao, BRS Working President

Tandas in Vikarabad were upgraded to gram panchayats under the leadership of CM K Chandrashekar Rao, said BRS Working President KT Rama Rao while campaigning for the BRS Party in the Vikarabad constituency. He said that a new medical college, degree college and nursing college were also set up in the district.

KTR made the above comments while addressing roadshows in Moinabad, Vikarabad town and Marpally on Thursday. He appealed to the people to support Methuku Anand in Vikarabad and vote for BRS in the coming elections.

He asked the people to recollect Congress days when farmers were deprived of many benefits, apart from current and water problems, inadequate supply of seeds and fertilizers, and many more. “No other leader loves farmers and works for their welfare like KCR does,” he said.

Responding to Revanth Reddy’s statement on 24-hour current supply not being provided in the state, KTR stated that the former could hold any current wire across Telangana and check for himself if there was current being supplied or not. He rubbished the statement of TPCC Chief Revanth Reddy who said a three-hour power supply was sufficient for the farmers in Telangana to irrigate an acre of land if they could run a 10hp pump set. KTR ridiculed the Congress leaders for their lack of knowledge on farming and asked people if they wanted current or Congress.

KTR said that KCR is the only leader in independent India who introduced Rythu Bandhu, a farmers’ investment support scheme. He added that 70 lakh farmers were receiving Rythu Bandhu money, 46 lakh people were receiving Rs 2,000 pension, 15 lakh women received KCR Kits, 14 lakh women received Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak scheme in the State.

KTR said that the public representatives in the Congress government feared going into villages as people protested for water with empty pots on roads. Despite being given 11 chances, the Congress party failed to work for the welfare of the people, he added.

KTR stated that despite losing two years and bearing one lakh crore losses due to COVID-19, the development in the state continued under the leadership of KCR. He added that two more years went into elections and the BRS Govt properly had six and a half years to govern. He added that the BRS government could bring major development in the state which Congress couldn’t do in six decades. KTR said that the minorities were still living in poverty because Congress just used them for their benefit and saw them as a vote bank. He added that CM KCR worked for the welfare of the minorities by setting up educational institutions, giving scholarships, allotting the highest minority budget, and introducing schemes that uplifted the minority communities.
