Hyderabad, May 18 (Hydnow): TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy today hit out at Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao alleging that the latter had turned the rich Telangana State into a debt-ridden State.
Stating that the political parties, which ruled the State during the last 60 years, including the Congress took ₹60,000 crore loans, he alleged that KCR had taken ₹5 lakh crore loans during the last seven years of his rule. He also said the Telangana State has a deficit budget like Sri Lanka. He mocked that the State Agriculture Minister had given an advertisement on KCR’s birthday claiming that they gave ₹5 lakh ex gratia to each of the 74,000 farmers, who committed suicides during the last four years.
The TPCC chief said the credit behind giving assigned lands to the landless poor goes to the Congress party. He said the Congress party had built 81 irrigation projects in the undivided Andhra Pradesh State. And had introduced MSP for the benefit of the farmers.
Speaking to media persons at Meet- the-Press program, he said Telangana was the only State in the country where separate State agitation was held for a share in land. He said the world would not forget the armed struggles of the Telangana. He said the Congress party would come to power in the next 12 months and would implement their Warangal declaration in a complete manner. He promised to waive off ₹2 lakh crop loans of the farmers within 30 days of coming to power.
Commenting on the Rythu Bandhu scheme, he said the scheme was not required for the rich farmers. He also said they would bring changes in the existing Dharani portal. Raising the issue of distribution of podu lands, he said it was not new for the Congress party. He said they would also announce declarations on health and education sectors of the State. (Hydnow)
