Reiterating that farm loans up to ₹2 lakh will be waived off by August 15, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said financial assistance under the Rythu Bharosa scheme has already been disbursed to around 65 lakh farmers of the total 69 lakh farmers in the State.
The Rythu Bharosa funds will be disbursed to the remaining 4 lakh farmers before May 8, he said, throwing a challenge to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao to come for an open debate at Telangana Martyrs’ Memorial in Hyderabad on May 9 on implementation of Rythu Bharosa scheme.
Addressing an election meeting in the coal town of Kothagudem in the poll-bound Khammam Lok Sabha constituency on Saturday, Mr. Reddy accused Mr. Rao of resorting to false propaganda against the Congress government over implementation of Rythu Bharosa scheme.
