Only Telangana is Offering Rs 50,000 Cr Funds to Farmers: KTR

Hyderabad, Jan.10 (Hydnow): Municipal Minister KT Rama Rao today claimed that only Telangana state in India is offering Rs 50,000 crore funds so far towards farmers under the Rythu Bandhu scheme. This time as many as 64 lakhs of farmers have been getting Rythu Bandhu financial assistance and events are to mark the same, he claimed. He challenged that the two national parties the Congress and the BJP should give such financial assistance to the farmers.

Talking to press persons at the TRS Bhavan here, KT Rama Rao said that TRS means Telangana Rythu Samithi as the farmers are getting all help of 24 hour power and Rs 10000 per acre in two spells. Telangana which was Koti Rathanala Veena and now mukkoti tons of farm production, he claimed. Telangana is now giving food grains to the entire country that the FCI is unable to procure our yield.

The KCR Government will keep the promise of Rs 1 lakh crop loan waiver, he said. In the combined state Telangana faced power shortage and farmers suffered bullets as about 15 lakhs of people from Palamur (Mahabub Nagar) migrated for livelihood and now in the own state the situation is different.

Now with more irrigation projects, all support to the farmers and community professions the villages are getting back to past glory of greenery and more farm yield.

As we built Kaleshwaram, Palamur, Sitharama and other projects to be completed he said adding that the Centre should do something for the farmers instead of coming in the way of our development. The leaders of the opposition parties who are making charges are also getting Rythu Bandhu in our state which is witnessing a golden harvest of 3 crore mt of paddy.
