Let All-Party Delegation Visit Medigadda, Revanth Dares KTR
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy asked Minister K.T. Participating in the 'Meet the Press' programme organised by the Telangana State Union of Working Journalists here on Friday, Revanth Reddy also rejected Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao's claims at public meetings that the Congress would scrap welfare schemes like Rythu Bandhu and free power to agriculture if it came to power. Revanth Reddy accused the BRS government of only continuing the welfare schemes launched by the previous governments and said that Chandrashekar Rao had copied the Rythu Bandhu scheme from the Congress manifesto of 2014 when it promised Rs 10,000 per acre as input subsidy for farmers every year. After the BRS came to power in 2014, KCR copied this scheme in 2018 just before the Assembly polls, named it Rythu Bandhu, and gave Rs 8,000 per acre per year,” the TPCC chief said. On the row over the Medigadda barrage, Revanth Reddy said: "KTR claimed that we posted pictures of expansion joints on the barrage and tried to create fear among people that the bridge will collapse.
