Chief Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao has come down heavily on the detractors of ‘Dharani’, the online integrated land records management system, stating that they plan to make landholding farmers run pillar to post for their land transactions by paying bribe at different levels.
“Some fools are repeatedly saying that they will dump the Dharani system in the Bay of Bengal after their party is voted to power. It’s nothing but dumping farmers in the ocean and throwing them to the mercy of individuals in the revenue system who had fleeced them for decades even for getting done a small work related to land records,” he said at Nagarkurnool on Tuesday.
Addressing a public meeting in the name ‘ pragathi nivedana sabha’ after participating in a few development programmes there, the Chief Minister disclosed that it was because of Dharani that farmers were getting the benefit of Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bima, value of paddy sale and others directly credited into their bank accounts without the involvement any individual or middlemen.
