Hyderabad, Nov 27 (Hydnow): BRS President and Chief Minister K.Chandrashekhar Rao today said that the Congress was obstructing the timely disbursement of Rythu bandhu financial assistance to farmers in Telangana ahead of the Assembly elections.
He said Congress leaders were resorting to desperate measures to win the elections and were not hesitating to put farmers in trouble during the Yasangi season.
Speaking at the Praja Ashirvada Sabha at Shadnagar on Monday, Chandrashekhar Rao said he had instructed officials to initiate the distribution of Rythu bandhu funds for the yasangi season before the elections. However, the Telangana Congress lodged a complaint with the Election Commission of India (ECI) to halt the process. Despite this, the ECI permitted the State government to deposit the amount into the bank accounts of farmers for just one day.
Chandrashekhar Rao called on Congress activists to introspect on the actions of their leaders, stating that Congress was not only stalling Rythu Bandhu not also proposing a new provision to extend it to tenant farmers. He cautioned that such a move could lead to unnecessary legal disputes over land ownership between the land owners and tenant farmers. (Hydnow)
