BRS working president KT Rama Rao slammed the Congress government for pushing farmers in Telangana into a worsening crisis by halting key welfare schemes and neglecting irrigation infrastructure.
He urged party cadres to unite and work towards reinstating party chief K Chandrashekhar Rao as the Chief Minister to save Telangana from the Congress anarchy.
Welcoming Chinnambavi Sarpanch Ranjith and his supporters from Kollapur
constituency into the BRS at Telangana Bhavan on Thursday, Rama Rao said the farmers’ distress had become severe, with the government stopping major farmer-support schemes.
He stated that while the previous BRS government delivered Rythu Bharosa benefits 11 times, the Congress had provided it only once in the last two years. He also criticised the newly introduced urea card, forcing farmers to stand in long lines for fertiliser that was unavailable in shops.
