Congress party will introduce changes in the present Rythu Bandhu scheme eliminating the real estate dealers in and around the cities but claiming the benefits under the scheme, and passing on the same benefit to the farmers as per the party’s promise of enhanced ₹15,000 per acre per annum under the Indira Rythu Bharosa scheme.
The TPCC president, A. Revanth Reddy said that thousands of real estate dealers with huge land holdings were claiming the benefit under the Rythu Bandhu scheme thanks to Chief Minister, K. Chandrashekar Rao’s ‘sinister plan’ to pass on the monetary benefit to his near and dear ones.
“The proposed Indira Rythu Bharosa will see that money saved by denying the benefit to the real estate dealers will be passed onto the genuine farmers as soon as the party comes to power,” he said at a programme organised by Telangana Journalists’ Study Forum on the ‘Warangal Declaration’ for the farmers. “It would be a win-win situation for the genuine farmers and the government.”
