KTR slams Telangana Congress government over handling of farmer issues

In a scathing attack on the Congress government in the State, BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Thursday faulted the administration on the way it was handling farmers’ issues. He accused the Congress government of failing to deliver on the Rythu Bharosa scheme and misleading farmers with promises of debt waivers.

He pointed out that the government had not fulfilled its commitment to purchase paddy and had failed to provide the promised Rs 500 bonus per quintal of grain. He also mentioned incidents of police brutality in Dilawarpur and Ramannapet, where farmers were detained and jailed,



and questioned whether the government could derive some pleasure in such actions.

Taking to X, he further criticised the government for celebrating ‘Rythu Panduga‘ while farmers struggled being enmeshed in a web of miseries. He accused the government of making false promises and failing to fulfil them.

He highlighted the plight of farmers who, due to the government’s failure to purchase their produce, were forced to sell it to middlemen for a song. He called on the people of Telangana to wake up and realise what the government is, in the backdrop of its shortcomings.
