Telangana farmers choose Congress despite benefiting from govt. schemes

The Hindu  

To gain political advantage, the BRS counted on its flagship programme, Rythu Bandhu, which has helped thousands of farmers. While examining the voter response to various State government initiatives for farmers, it was found that nearly four in five farmers benefited from Rythu Bandhu, and three in four benefited from free power supply. The findings also suggest that despite farmers benefiting from welfare schemes launched by the Central government, such as the PM Kisan Yojana and the PM Fasal Bima Yojana, they voted for the Congress. Nearly three in five farmers in Telangana acknowledged receiving benefits from the PM Kisan Yojana, and less than half of them voted for the Congress. Despite the BRS’s reliance on farmers’ welfare schemes, its electoral defeat in Telangana indicates that farmer benefits did not secure political loyalty.
