Telangana polls: BRS MLC Kavitha highlights benefits of 'Rythu Bandhu' scheme for farmers; seeks ryots' support again

HYDERABAD: As the campaign for the Assembly polls gathers pace in Telangana, BRS MLC K Kavitha on Tuesday said the state government's 'Rythu Bandhu' investment support scheme for farmers was appreciated even by the United Nations and sought the support of ryots in the November 30 elections. Kavitha, daughter of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said the 'Rythu Bandhu', a first of its kind scheme in the country, was appreciated even by the United Nations.

It is historic that CM KCR announced increasing the benefit under the scheme incrementally up to Rs 16,000 per acre in the BRS manifesto released two days ago, she said.

The scheme was started with Rs 8,000 per acre, she said on X (formerly Twitter).

Observing that farmers in all districts were supporting KCR who has changed the face of agriculture in the state, the BRS is seeking their blessings in the polls, she said.

Rao, who kicked off his poll campaign with a rally at Husnabad in Siddipet district on Sunday, is scheduled to undertake a brisk campaign till November 9 as per his tentative tour programme released recently.
