BRS president and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has asked the people of Telangana, in general, and the electorate, in particular, to make a conscious decision while voting during Lok Sabha elections, as a “decision made in a hurry is always bound to be counter-productive”.
“The electorate had taken a decision in the December 2023 elections to the Assembly by falling prey to false promises and as a result, they are facing hardships even to get proper drinking water and water for irrigation, with tankers making a come-back and standing crops in a large extent of about 20 lakh acres withering, he said addressing the party’s first public meeting for LS polls in Chevella on Saturday.
He said 1.3 lakh Dalit families for whom Dalit Bandhu was sanctioned this year were denied the benefit as the Congress Government had withdrawn the proceedings after it had promised to enhance the amount to ₹12 lakh during the run-up to Assembly elections from ₹10 lakh being given by the previous BRS Government.
