“It is in the hands of the electorate whether to retain the pro-farmer policies such as Dharani online land records’ management, 24×7 free power to pump-sets, no cess on water for irrigation, investment support under Rythu Bandhu, life insurance cover under Rythu Bima and procurement of paddy, or forego them,” Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao said.
“The talk of dumping Dharani, scrapping Rythu Bandhu and Bima, only 3-hour power supply to farmers, is not being made by any ‘unknown’ Congress leader but by bigwigs such as Rahul Gandhi, M. Bhatti Vikramarka, N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, A. Revanth Reddy and even leaders like D.K. Shivakumar and K. Siddaramaiah from Karnataka,” he said.
