Congress Government’s Grand Plans for One-Year Celebrations: Revanth Reddy’s Promise to Farmers
Hyderabad, November 10: As Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and the Congress government in Telangana prepare to mark their one-year anniversary, grand celebrations are being planned to highlight the achievements of the year. With public victory celebrations scheduled from November 14 to December 9, the government is eager to address its critics and showcase its accomplishments.
A Focus on Farmer Welfare
The Congress government is already making headlines for its significant promises to farmers. One of the most notable achievements was the loan waiver program, which relieved about 22 lakh farmers from Rs. 18,000 crore in debts. Additionally, the government announced that another Rs. 13,000 crore will soon be deposited into farmers’ accounts, further boosting their financial security.
However, there has been growing opposition criticism regarding the promise of Rythu Bharosa, a financial aid scheme to support farmers. Despite promises made during the election, farmers are still waiting for the Rs. 15,000 per acre assistance. The opposition has raised concerns that this promise has not been fulfilled, even after the government completed one year in office.
Rythu Bharosa: A Promised Fulfillment
To address these concerns, the Revanth government is making significant efforts to fulfill the Rythu Bharosa promise before the end of the year. The finance department has been directed to begin the disbursement process, and the government aims to start distributing funds from 1 acre of cultivated land. The goal is to complete the distribution by December and provide farmers with the long-awaited financial assistance.
According to government plans, **farmers with land up to 7 to 8 acres will be eligible for this assurance. The government is working closely with the Cabinet Subcommittee to finalize the guidelines, ensuring that the funds will only be allocated to actively cultivated lands.
The Financial Impact
Telangana has a total of 1.39 crore acres of cultivated land. The estimated funds required to implement Rythu Bharosa across the state amount to about Rs. 7,000 crore. To meet this, the government plans to distribute between Rs. 1,500 crore to Rs. 2,000 crore every 10 days, with the aim of depositing at least Rs. 7,000 crore into farmers’ accounts within the next 45 days.
A Grand Conclusion to the Year
As part of the public victory celebrations, the Congress government intends to showcase its efforts to ensure the welfare of the farming community. The Rythu Bharosa scheme is expected to play a central role in these celebrations, along with other government initiatives aimed at improving the lives of citizens.
This grand initiative is not only an effort to fulfill campaign promises but also an attempt to silence the growing opposition voices and boost public morale in the farming community. The government hopes to recover the political mileage lost in earlier controversies by ensuring that the Rythu Bharosa scheme is effectively implemented and delivers the promised benefits to farmers.
In the coming weeks, Revanth Reddy and the Congress government will face increased scrutiny, but their actions—if successful—may cement their legacy of farmer-focused governance in Telangana.
