A historic picture of the late Y.S. Rajashekhara Reddy signing the first file as the Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh providing free power to farmers in 2004 is back in circulation with the Telangana Congress deciding to counter Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s claims of free power supply and his criticism of the Congress.
Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Bhatti Vikramarka initiated a new campaign taking a selfie with the huge frame of YSR’s iconic picture in the background and announced that the party will go to the people to expose Mr. Chandrasekhar Raos claims that TRS was the first to provide free power supply to the farmers.
“Congress has the patent on free power as the then Congress government in the combined Andhra Pradesh was the first State in the country to offer free power to farmers. Who understands farmers better than the Congress,” he asked at a press conference after launching the ‘Selfie with Congress Development Projects’.
