Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao accused Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of diverting funds meant for farmers under the Rythu Bandhu scheme to introduce a new scheme named “Rahul Bandhu.” Rao criticized the delay in providing Rythu Bandhu assistance to farmers, alleging that the government has failed to release the funds as promised. He claimed that the Chief Minister diverted nearly Rs 1,000 crore annually for political purposes, benefiting the Congress leadership instead of supporting farmers.
K.T. Rama Rao, popularly known as KTR, criticized the Chief Minister for introducing the “Rahul Bandhu” program, which he alleged was diverting Telangana farmers’ money to appease Rahul Gandhi and the Congress leadership. Rao accused the Chief Minister of prioritizing political interests over the welfare of farmers, claiming that public resources were being diverted to maintain his political position. He also condemned the Congress government for not fulfilling its electoral promises and announced that the BRS would push for legal backing for the six guarantees promised by the Congress in the upcoming Assembly sessions.
The BRS working president emphasized the need for legal guarantees to ensure the implementation of the Congress’s promises to the people of Telangana. K.T. Rama Rao stated that the Private Member Bill to be introduced by the BRS aims to hold the government accountable for fulfilling the assurances made to the public. He highlighted the discrepancy between the Congress’s pre-election promises and its post-election actions, accusing the party of betraying various segments of society.
