However, the appointment of Arikapudi Gandhi as the PAC chairman stirred controversy among members of the opposition, particularly the BRS. This move was met with criticism, with accusations of deviating from established norms and traditions. Harish Rao, a prominent figure, voiced concerns over the appointment, emphasizing the customary practice of assigning the PAC chairman role to the opposition party. He criticized the decision to appoint Gandhi, who had recently joined the Congress party, raising questions about the integrity of the selection process.

The situation escalated as Rahul Gandhi condemned what he perceived as a breach of democratic principles, denouncing the actions taken by the state government. Comparisons were drawn to the appointment of KC Venugopal as the PAC chairman at the national level, highlighting discrepancies in the decision-making process.

Amidst the turmoil, three MLAs from the BRS put forward nominations for the PAC chairman position, including former ministers Harish Rao, Gangula Kamalakar, and Prashanth Reddy. The nomination of Arikapudi Gandhi by the Congress party following his party switch further fueled the controversy. Ultimately, despite the uproar, Gandhi secured the role of PAC chairman.

The situation took a dramatic turn when the High Court intervened, issuing orders to address the issue of party-switching by MLAs. This development added another layer of complexity to the ongoing discussions within the Legislative Assembly Office, sparking debates and raising questions about political ethics and governance.

Former minister Harish Rao castigated the Congress rule, labeling it a curse on farmers. CM Revanth Reddy alleged that farmers are being deceived, leading to a troubling spike in suicides, with 475 reported in the past 9 months. The government disclosed that only 20 lakh out of 41 lakh farmers have received loan waivers, prompting demands from Harish Rao for clarity on the timeline for the remaining farmers.

The Agriculture Department appointments have also come under scrutiny, with questions raised about their impact on farmers’ welfare. Harish Rao criticized the Congress government for failing to match actions with promises. However, the Congress rebutted, claiming that the loan waiver process is proceeding as planned, without introducing new regulations.

Government Whip Adi Srinivas defended the Congress stance, stating that farmers are content while Harish Rao is attempting to provoke unrest. Adi Srinivas confirmed that a substantial amount of 31 thousand crore rupees will be waived, dismissing Harish Rao’s attempts to incite farmers.

In the backdrop of BRS leaders hinting at a possible upheaval led by KCR, the focus remains on the unresolved issue of loan waivers, with the pink leaders directing criticism at the government.

Revanth Reddy’s administration fulfilled the Congress party’s election promise by implementing the two lakh farmer loan waiver, disbursing the funds in three installments to farmers’ accounts. Despite these efforts, some farmers faced challenges receiving the waiver due to discrepancies in documentation such as ration cards, Aadhaar cards, and Pattadar passbooks. Additionally, farmers with loans exceeding two lakhs expressed concerns over the lack of waiver, leading to protests.

Addressing these issues, CM Revanth clarified that loans above two lakhs would be subject to the waiver upon repayment. He assured that all eligible farmers would receive the benefit and announced that over 17 thousand 933 crores had been deposited thus far. To address outstanding grievances, farmers were urged to submit their concerns at Collectorates for resolution.

In a separate development, CM Revanth Reddy admonished KTR and Harish Rao for their approach to the loan waiver, accusing them of misleading farmers. Harish Rao’s challenge to the waiver process was met with criticism, with allegations that he failed to fulfill his commitment to resign if the loans were not waived. CM Revanth called for improved coordination and data collection efforts between Harish Rao, KTR, and the Collectorate to streamline the loan waiver process.
