Congress promises ₹15K per acre Rythu Bharosa to farmers in Telangana

hyderabad

In a move to take the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana head-on, All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday announced ₹15,000 per acre per year benefit to both landholding and tenant farmers, ₹12,000 per year to farm workers and ₹500 per quintal bonus to paddy in addition to minimum support price.

Naming the party’s guarantee to the farming community of Telangana as ‘Rythu Bharosa’, Mr.Kharge said it would be a game-changer in State politics and do a world of good to farmers, including tenants and farm workers. Alleging that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao says a lot but does nothing, he said the Congress party on the other hand would stand by every word, be it Rythu Bharosa and other guarantees, after coming to power in Telangana.
