CM raises tenant farmers hopes on Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bima

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao's announcement on Thursday extending financial assistance to tenant farmers for the first time marks the BRS government's complete shift from its earlier stand that it would not recognize tenant farmers and would only provide government benefits to those who own land. In accordance with the BRS government's stand on tenant farmers, Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bima were extended to those who own agricultural land from 2018. According to official estimates, the state has over 15 lakh tenant farmers, and the CM's announcement has raised the hopes of tenant farmers of availing Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bima benefits. He issued new digital ‘pattadar’ passbooks in 2018 having only land owners name and extending Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bima only to land owners even if that particular land is cultivated by tenant farmers.
