Telangana Govt Implemented Major Schemes, says Hanumantha Rao

Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao on Friday accused the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao of repeatedly criticising the ruling party in Telangana despite several welfare schemes already being implemented. 

He said that the Congress announced a six-point programme at Thukkuguda, in the presence of party leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, promising major welfare initiatives for Telangana's people.

Rao told Media, "Of the six



guarantees, the present government has already implemented four major schemes, including agriculture loan waivers, free bus services for women, waiver of current charges up to 200 units for households, and other farmer welfare measures." 

He stated that the remaining two guarantees, Rs 2,500 financial assistance to women and pension schemes, are pending solely due to the heavy financial burden left by the previous BRS government, which had raised loans totalling over Rs 1 lakh crore.
