"rythu-bharosa"

The MPs and MLAs of the BJP held a 24-hour protest to force the State government to fulfil the promises made to the farming community, especially the crop loan waiver scheme, at the Dharna Chowk, Indira Park on Monday.

BRS working president KT Rama Rao criticised the Congress govt for ruthlessly demolishing homes and businesses of the underprivileged without providing adequate support or time for relocation.

Say they were left with no choice but to borrow money from private lenders at exorbitant rates of interest as government is delaying loan waiver

Rama Rao criticized the Congress for its inconsistency in implementing the Rythu Bharosa farm investment support. He stated, "They made grand election promises about Rythu Bharosa and loan waivers, but following Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao's recent comments, Telangana farmers are now confused. They once claimed to support tenant farmers, but now they are backing out and leaving them without explanation."

Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao’s remarks have re-ignited a debate over the Rythu Bandhu scheme, stirring criticism on social media.

BRS working president and former Minister KT Rama Rao said Chief Minister Revanth Reddy installed the statue to appease the Congress leadership, while ignoring Telangana's sentiments.

BRS insiders reveal that Chandrashekhar Rao plans to expose the inefficiencies of the Congress, especially on issues related to irrigation and electricity, which have significantly impacted Telangana’s agrarian community.

The senior BRS MLA condemned the government’s handling of the loan waiver as deceitful, charging the Chief Minister with staging daily "dramas" while farmers suffered in financial distress

As of September 12, sowing operations have been completed in only 1.23 crore acres, around 95 per cent of the normal cultivation area of 1.29 crore acres for the ongoing Vanakalam season.

Harish Rao said Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy had set different deadlines for implementing the crop loan waiver, but implemented it only partially at the cost of skipping the Rythu Bharosa investment support for the ongoing Vaanakalam (Kharif) season.

The move, which will have the primary objective of exposing the double standards of the Congress party and the failures of the Congress government, will begin after a meeting with party leaders and cadre around September 10

While the Telangana Rashtra Rythu Sangham, affiliated to CPI, has called for protests in front of the Collector's office today, CPI (M) has decided to stage protests on Thursday.

Banks also refusing to extend new loans due to incomplete waiver process

The Agriculture department, which developed a mobile app to help complete the loan waiver process, will train AEOs on how to use and collect the data from Tuesday.

Says while the government has been claiming that there are no deaths in State, at least five were reported on Saturday and three on Monday

Farmers staged dharna blocking roads and raised slogans against the State government for not extending the waiver to them. They said that they were forced to roam around banks to get the scheme. Due to the protest, traffic came to a standstill for a while.

A decision was taken to stage ‘rasta roko’ protest on national highways on Saturday. This apart, they demanded that the State government should waive their crop loans without imposing any terms and conditions.

Around 500 farmers from several villages gathered and took out a massive funeral procession with an effigy of the Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy at Talamadugu mandal centre.

The ruing party had not yet implemented its electoral promise of providing Rs 15,000 per acre financial assistance every year to the farmers under Indiramma Rythu Bharosa.

The announcement came as a surprise, as the Chief Minister's prepared Independence Day speech made no mention of extending the facility to 'farm laborers.' Earlier, Revanth Reddy had unfurled the tricolor and reviewed the Independence Day parade at the Golconda Fort on Thursday.
