Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao has alleged that Congress deceived farmers, students, youth, women and weaker sections, and asked the people to send the anti-people govt packing. He said people want KCR (K Chandrasekhar Rao) back as the chief minister of Telangana.Addressing a meeting of key BRS workers at Sathupalli in Khammam district on Wednesday, KTR said that despite having three ministers from Khammam district holding powerful portfolios, the district had gained nothing under the present administration.KTR questioned chief minister A Revanth Reddy’s stand on crop procurement and reminded him of his earlier promises as PCC president. “The chief minister now says Telangana can procure only as much crop as the Centre permits. If that is the case, why did he earlier promise to procure all crops and provide bonuses to farmers?” he asked. He accused the govt of failing farmers by delaying procurement, neglecting Rythu Bharosa and not ensuring the availability of fertilisers.The BRS working president said KCR had deposited nearly Rs 73,000 crore as Rythu Bandhu investment support into the accounts of 72 lakh farmers. In contrast, he alleged, the present CM had made repeated visits to Delhi without bringing substantial benefits to the state.KTR also raised concerns over pending fee reimbursement dues and demanded the immediate release of funds to students. He accused the Congress govt of failing to fulfil promises made to students and unemployed youth, resulting in widespread frustration.He alleged that the Congress govt had weakened welfare and development initiatives launched during the BRS regime, including irrigation projects such as Sitharama. He claimed that while the previous govt had laid a strong foundation for Telangana’s growth over 10 years, the current dispensation was reversing that progress.Referring to party organisation, KTR called upon BRS cadres to remain vigilant during the statewide Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and ensure that no eligible voter’s name was removed. He also urged party workers to make the upcoming digital membership drive a grand success.
