Fulfilling Promises, Strengthening Welfare
Speaking at the public meeting, Revanth Reddy reiterated his government’s commitment to improving the lives of Telangana’s citizens. “The people’s government is working tirelessly for the welfare of four crore Telangana residents by addressing their needs and fulfilling our promises one by one,” he said.
He highlighted several other welfare measures already implemented, including:
- Farm loan waivers up to ₹2 lakh, benefiting 25 lakh farmers with ₹21,000 crore credited to their accounts.
- Bonuses for farmers cultivating fine varieties of paddy.
- Free travel for women on RTC buses.
- Free power supply up to 200 units.
- Cooking gas cylinders at ₹500.
The Chief Minister emphasized that Telangana is the only state to waive farm loans on such a large scale and that increased financial support under Rythu Bharosa will further ease the burden of rising agricultural input costs.
“The bond between Congress and farmers is like the bond between land and seed,” he said, recalling Congress’ legacy of introducing free electricity and crop loan waivers for farmers nationwide.
The Rythu Bharosa payments will be deposited directly into farmers’ accounts from midnight, marking another milestone in Telangana’s welfare-driven governance.
