TRS trumpeting more than working: Laxman
The TRS government is trying to project the Rythu Bandhu scheme as if it was panacea for all the problems of the farming sector, BJP State President K Laxman said.
​Hanamkonda: The TRS government is trying to project the Rythu Bandhu scheme as if it was panacea for all the problems of the farming sector, BJP State President K Laxman said.
Addressing a media conference here on Saturday, he accused the government of wasting hundreds of crores of rupees in the name of propaganda. Referring to the Rythu Bandhu scheme propaganda, he said that merely to trumpet his government’s programmes, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao went on publicity spree across the country, which is uncalled-for.
“Though 4,000-odd debt-ridden farmers committed suicide in the State, the government was never concerned about the families of those victims,” Laxman said.
He alleged that the government is trying to swallow crores of rupees by showing excess agriculture land. “Even though, irrigated land in the State is 1.24 crore acres and the number of farmers is 45 lakh, the government boosted the figures and showed it as 1.42 crore acres and 58 lakh farmers. This is to benefit the TRS leaders,” Laxman said, pointing to the anomalies in Rythu Bandhu scheme.
He termed it as advance gift for the TRS leaders a year before 2019 elections. Laxman said that KCR is trying to hoodwink the people in the name of Federal Front or coalition of parties. Although KCR says that he is anti-BJP and anti-Congress, he is clearly hobnobbing with parties such as Trinamool Congress that are close to Congress, he said. He said that TRS government totally failed to fulfil its election promises.
Referring to the Karnataka elections, he said that it would be a curtain raiser for the BJP’s victories in southern States. BJP Warangal Urban president Rao Padma, former MLA M Dharma Rao, Rural District president Ashok Reddy, spokesperson G Premender Reddy and G Rambabu were among others present.
