Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao continued to harp on the Dharani portal and the Rythu Bandhu schemes, which he said were path-breaking in the country and a vote for the Congress would mean the farmers would lose the benefits from both the schemes.
Speaking at the Praja Aashirwada Sabha in Adilabad, Boath and Nizamabad, he accused the Congress of promising to abolish the Dharani portal with an aim to bring back the middlemen and also stopping the Rythu Bandhu system from destroying the agriculture sector. He said Congress MP N. Uttam Kumar Reddy had termed Rythu Bandhu a wasteful expenditure while Rahul Gandhi is hell-bent on removing the Dharani portal that helped corruption-free transactions in agriculture land sales.
The Chief Minister said the schemes like Rythu Bandhu and 24-hour free power supply were designed after a lot of thought to strengthen the agriculture sector and the results were before the country to see the growth of Telangana. No State is purchasing the entire paddy production helping farmers to cultivate more. If Congress comes back to power all these will go.
