Telangana Polls: Farmers' Issues Take Center Stage in Election Campaigns

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: With Rythu Bharosa, the financial assistance provided to farmers before the start of agriculture season, being remitted and Rabi season by and large passing off without much difficulty on power and irrigation fronts, the Congress has been pinning hopes heavily on the largest voting community of farmers and farm labour. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy prioritised the release of Rythu Bharosa initially to small and marginal farmers and recently farmers with more than five acres also received the financial assistance. People are saving electricity to limit their consumption to the 200 units that they can avail for free now.” On renewing the subsidy facilities on inputs, M. Shekhar, a farmer with three acres from Arutla village of Ranga Reddy district, says, “It will benefit small farmers like me if subsidy is given for tomato boxes, mango plants which were being given earlier. I am hoping to get an Indiramma house sanctioned now and will vote accordingly in the parliament polls.” His fellow villager K. Shekhar Reddy, while largely agreeing with him, does not hope the present state government will increase the Rythu Bandhu amount to the promised Rs 7,500 per acre. The 10 years of the BRS government was corruption-ridden.” As one of the 180 farmers, who had filed nominations during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, seeking the board, he said, “I feel politicians agree to people’s demands depending on their reading of the situation.
