Everyone knows how KCR benefitted from Rythu Bandhu scheme more than farmers in Telangana.
He introduced the scheme just before Assembly polls in December 2018 and stormed to power for the second term on the back of Rythu Bandhu.
After elections are over and his purpose served, KCR is now ignoring Rythu Bandhu citing paucity of funds.
Not even 50 per cent of the farmers in Telangana received Rythu Bandhu for kharif this year so far though rabi season has begun. Farmers lost hopes on getting Rythu Bandhu for rabi completely as they are yet to get for kharif.
Poor farmers in Telangana are anyway losing Rythu Bandhu. They are now losing even the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s version of Rythu Bandhu scheme known as PM Kisan Sammaan scheme due to bad governance of KCR.
Under PM’s scheme, 14-lakh farmers are yet to receive Rs 2000 in their bank accounts.
The Centre has deposited Rs 2000 under the scheme in respect of 24-lakh farmers under the scheme and could not do so for 14 lakh farmers because of the wrong details sent by the Telangana agriculture department.
The department is now taking corrective measures to send the correct details to the Center in a few days.
