Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, on Tuesday, challenged BRS MLA and former Minister Harish Rao if he was ready to close his party if the Congress government waived off the ₹2 lakh farm loan by August 15.
The Chief Minister threw up this challenge in response to Mr. Harish Rao’s repeated claims that the former was desperately trying to mislead the farmers by taking oath on gods and goddesses during his election meetings. Mr. Harish Rao asked, in one of his meetings, whether the CM was ready to resign if the farm loan waiver was not implemented before August 15.
Mr. Reddy addressed a party workers’ meeting in his constituency Kodangal on Tuesday and later, addressed a public meeting at Bijnepally in Nagarkurnool district, where he reiterated his promise that the loan waiver would be completed by August 15. “I take oath on Jogulamba mata in Alampur that the loan waiver would be done before August 15,” he reiterated.
