KT Rama Rao Criticizes Telangana Government Over Loan Waiver Scheme

KT Rama Rao, the Working President of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), has accused the Congress-led Telangana government of cheating farmers with false promises of loan waivers. Speaking at a press meet at Telangana Bhavan in Hyderabad, KTR criticized Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for making exaggerated claims about the loan waiver scheme, while in reality, only a fraction of the promised amount has been waived.

KTR highlighted that despite the government’s claim of completing the loan waiver process, farmers are still protesting across the state, indicating the scheme’s failure. He criticized the government for filing non-bailable cases against farmers in the Adilabad district who protested the incomplete loan waiver, questioning whether demanding a loan waiver has now become a criminal offense.

He announced that the BRS would hold protests in every village and Mandal across the state to pressure the government to fulfill its promises. He accused the Congress of initially promising Rs 40,000 crores for loan waivers, but later reducing it to Rs 7,500 crores, leaving farmers in the lurch.

KTR also demanded that the government immediately withdraw the cases filed against protesting farmers and warned that the BRS would intensify its protests if the cases were not dropped. He emphasized that the BRS will continue to fight against this deceitful government until every farmer receives their rightful loan waiver.

Furthermore, KTR called out the Chief Minister’s recent vulgar language remarks as a distraction tactic to divert attention from the issue of loan waiver. He reaffirmed that the BRS will not fall into such traps and will continue to fight for the rights of farmers. KTR concluded by challenging the government to fulfill its promises without any further delays and to stop the harassment of farmers under various pretexts.
