Terming the BRS government’s flagship scheme Rythu Bandhu and the round-the-clock free power supply to the agriculture sector as path-breaking pro-farmer initiatives, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao accused Congress leaders of adopting an “anti-farmer” stand that is detrimental to the interests of farmers in the State.
“The Rythu Bandhu investment support scheme earned praise from renowned agricultural scientist the late M.S. Swaminathan and the United Nations,” he noted, saying that the scheme was conceived by him in 2018 to provide timely financial assistance to farmers and alleviate agrarian distress.
“If by mistake the Congress is elected, Rythu Bandhu and the 24x7 free power supply to the farm sector will come to an end,” he said while addressing an election meeting at Jeellacheruvu village in Palair Assembly constituency of Khammam district on Friday afternoon.
