REVEALED: Congress govt has no flagship scheme to boast about in first 6 months - The Real Truth

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has observed that the first six months of governance sets the direction for the five-year term for any Government but the Government in Telangana led Chief Minister by A. Revanth Reddy has not done anything specific to claim any scheme as its flagship programme.

Addressing a press conference in Hyderabad on Saturday, senior leader of the party B. Vinod Kumar said the initial assessment of any Government would be done based on its performance during the first six months. Stating that Rythu Bandhu/Bharosa was a capital investment support scheme introduced by the previous Government led by K. Chandrasekhar Rao, he suggested the Congress Government to disburse the support of ₹7,500 per acre in the first week of June so that it could assure the farming community.

He pointed out that the Revanth Reddy’s Government had given investment support to most farmers during the harvesting period of Rabi crops and suggested the Government not repeat it for the ensuing Kharif season and disburse the benefit during the ‘Rohini Karthi’ when early showers occur before monsoon season to enable farmers to take up tilling and other preparatory work.
