Telangana Chief Minister and BRS supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday warned voters that the Congress, if voted to power in Telangana in the November 30 Assembly elections will abolish welfare schemes such as Rythu Bandhu and free power to farmers.
Speaking at a rally here, Rao, also known as KCR, said people like eminent scientist Dr M S Swaminathan and organisations such as the UN also appreciated Rythu Bandhu-- an investment support scheme for farmers, when introduced.

“Congress leader Uttam Kumar Reddy says Rythu Bandhu is a waste of public money. Another leader, the present PCC president, says three hours of power is enough for farmers. If the Congress wins [in the polls] they say Ram Ram to Rythu Bandhu and Jai Bhim to Dalit Bandhu. People should decide what kind of situation they would be in,” KCR alleged. Agencies
