Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao alleged that the Congress govt’s “Indiramma Rajyam“ has pushed Telangana into a deep crisis and accused CM A. Revanth Reddy of betraying the farming community through the state’s latest crop procurement policy.Addressing a BRS constituency-level party workers’ meeting in Wardhannapet assembly constituency of Warangal district on Monday, KTR said the Congress govt had failed to deliver any meaningful development or welfare measures during its two-and-a-half years in office.Stating that the govt’s decision to procure paddy only within the limits prescribed by the Centre would severely impact Telangana farmers, KTR alleged that Revanth Reddy had “written a death warrant for the state’s farmers.”“Earlier, Revanth Reddy questioned whether the BRS govt was acting as a broker for Prime Minister Narendra Modi whenever it followed the Centre’s directives. Today, he is doing exactly the same by saying that the state will procure only the quantity approved by the Centre,” KTR said.He warned that from the next agricultural season onwards, there would be no assurance that farmers’ produce would be procured beyond the Central quota, pushing the farming community into a severe crisis.KTR alleged that the state govt had failed to address issues such as fertilizer shortages, seed shortages, power cuts, delays in the implementation of Rythu Bharosa, and the discontinuation of Rythu Bima. He also accused the government of attempting to undermine free electricity for farmers through the proposed farmers’ DISCOM initiative.“The Congress govt has deceived every section of society after coming to power. People must ask what new schemes have been introduced and what development has taken place in the last two-and-a-half years,” the BRS working president said.Claiming that Telangana had moved from a decade of welfare under the BRS government to a period of crisis under Congress rule, KTR said the state had witnessed no significant achievements since the change in government.He further alleged that while the previous BRS govt utilised borrowed funds for welfare programmes, irrigation projects, drinking water schemes, 24-hour power supply and infrastructure development, the Congress govt had accumulated massive debt without translating it into tangible benefits for the people.KTR called upon party workers to intensify their struggle against the Congress govt and work collectively towards bringing BRS president KCR back as Chief Minister of Telanganaends/
