“Rythu Panduga” organised to deceive farmers, says Harish Rao


 Hyderabad: Ridiculing the claims of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy about farmers welfare and development of the State in last one year, Former Minister and Siddipet MLA T Harish Rao accused Revanth Reddy of making false claims about farmers welfare during “Rythu Panduga” organised to celebrate one year in power.

Alleging that the claims made by the Chief Minister were false and far from reality, Harish Rao said the Congress government failed to fulfil promises made to farmers of the State. All the hopes of farmers on the government making an announcement over crop loan waiver and Rythu Bharosa for Vanakalam and Yasangi were dashed. Not to mention the promises made to tenant farmers and farm labourers, he said.

He charged that the Chief Minister had deceived the farmers yet again at the Rythu Panduga programme. “Congress was claiming a patent for the Rythu Bima scheme launched by BRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao,”he said.

Countering the Chief Minister’s claim that 1.53 crore tonnes paddy was cultivated due to the projects constructed during the Congress, the former Minister said the projects were operational in 2014 as well, but why was only 68 lakh paddy cultivated then?he asked, adding that how 1.68 crore metric tonnes were produced by 2023-24.

The former Minister also sought to know how the 1.31 lakh acres in 2014-15 had increased to 2.21 lakh acres by 2023. Stressing that farmers had to suffer land loss for development, whom the chief minister was trying to threaten?he asked. Despite the tribal farmers of Lagacharla opposing pharma villages, the Congress government put them in prison, he said, adding that now, the Chief Minister was shedding crocodile tears.

On the Chief Minister’s charges that the BRS had failed to complete pending irrigation projects in Mahabubnagar during its tenure, Harish Rao countered saying that only 27,000 acres were provided water through Kalwakurthy, Bima,Nettempadu and Koyal Sagar project till 2014. This was increased to 6.5 lakh acres by the BRS government, he reminded. Similarly, 90 percent of the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS) was completed by the BRS government, he said, adding that even after one year the Congress government had failed to complete the balance work.

“CM should prove that BRS chief farm house was spread over 1000 acres. Failing which he should quit as CM,” Harish Rao challenged.

The former Minister said the BRS was keen to expose the Congress government’s failure at the assembly. “Will the BRS members be provided with sufficient time and mike in the House?” he asked.

Farmers have to suffer losses for development, says Revanth Reddy


Mahabubnagar: Asserting that an industrial park would be set up in Kodangal, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday said farmers would have to suffer land losses if development has to take place in the Palamuru region.

Speaking at the Rythu Pandaga programme here, he reasoned that without land acquisition, industries could not be established and jobs could not be provided to youth, also trying to justify his government’s moves by saying that land was acquired in the past for establishing industries and constructing projects.

“Did farmers attack officials during the construction of Nagarjuna Sagar and Srisailam projects? Had they opposed the works, the projects would not have been completed,” Revanth Reddy said, stating that farmers, especially those in Kollapur and other areas, too had lost their lands for the Srisailam project.

Claiming that it was with the intention of providing 25,000 jobs to unemployed youth that the State government was trying to set up an industrial park at Kodangal, he accused the BRS of creating hurdles and instigating farmers to oppose acquisition of 1300 acres.

Irrespective of the opposition, the industrial park would be set up in Kodangal, he asserted, adding that if need be, the compensation would be increased from Rs.10 lakh per acre to Rs.20 lakh per acre.
Claiming that after being jailed, tribals were approaching him to clear the cases booked against them, he said the Chief Minister and law were different entities. There was no idea on when they would even get bail, he said.

Promising to spend Rs.20,000 crore in a year on development works in Mahabubnagar with Rs.1 lakh crore to be spent in five years, he claimed that water would be supplied to 20 lakh acres in the district. He also said Rs.2,747 crore was released for waiving crop loans of 3.17 lakh farmers in the fourth installment of the crop loan waiver scheme.

CM Revanth Reddy reviews Krishna and Godavari water sharing situation


Hyderabad: Stressing that the Brijesh Kumar Tribunal had not completed the water sharing between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy asked why the decisions of the Krishna River and Godavari River Management Boards should be considered.

During a review meeting with irrigation department here on Saturday, he advised the officials to present arguments in the Supreme Court that there should be no interference of Godavari and Krishna boards until the water sharing was completed by the Tribunal. As per the AP Reorganization Act, Brijesh Kumar Tribunal has been entrusted with the responsibility of water sharing between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and the project-wise water allocations. So far, the tribunal had only collected opinions and evidence from the State governments.

The officials briefed the Chief Minister that the two States would present their arguments before the tribunal soon. After considering the arguments, the tribunal would take its decision and announce the same, they said.

Referring to international water principles, he instructed the officials to present arguments so that Telangana gets 70 percent of the water share out of 1005 TMC of available water from River Krishna. He also reminded that since Andhra Pradesh was utilizing 80 TMC of Godavari water for Krishna Delta through Polavaram, 45 TMC of water was allocated to Telangana upstream of Nagarjunasagar in return.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Niranjan Reddy criticized the “Rythu Panduga” event held in Mahabubnagar district, claiming it seemed more like an attempt to intimidate farmers than a celebration. “The meeting appeared to be aimed at threatening the farmers of the State for not surrendering their lands in Kodangal, under the guise of a farmers’ festival. The Chief Minister’s tone suggested he might forcibly take the farmers’ lands,” he alleged.

Rythu Panduga held to threaten farmers, says Niranjan Reddy


Hyderabad: Former Minister and senior BRS leader S Niranjan Reddy alleged that the way Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy spoke about land acquisition for pharma village during the “Rythu Panduga”, it appears as if the event was organised to threaten the farmers.

In a statement issued here on Saturday, Niranjan Reddy said the intention behind organising “Rythu Panduga” in Mahabubnagar district appears to be more like threatening the farmers than celebrations. “It seems that this meeting was held to threaten the farmers of the State for not giving lands in Kodangal in the name of farmers’ festival. CM’s tone appeared as if he would snatch the lands of the farmers forcefully,”he alleged.

He accused the Congress government of misusing hundreds of crores in the name of Rythu Pandaga. “RTC buses were diverted and people were deprived of transport facilities. Devotees going to Srisailam during Karthika month suffered a lot due to shortage of buses,”he alleged.

Accusing Revanth Reddy of ignoring Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS), the former Minister said though Revanth claims that he belongs to Mahabubnagar district, he did nothing to complete the project. If he was sincere about completing the project, Revanth would have completed it and provided water to the people of Mahabubnagar district, he said, adding that in the last one year, the Congress government had not taken up a single work related to the PRLIS project.
Stating that if Revanth Reddy was sincere, he would had completed 10 percent of the pending works of Palamuru Rangareddy lift irrigation works on a war footing and provided water to people, he said adding that Revanth admitted in the assembly that if the PRLIS works were completed an additional 10 lakh acres in the district would receive irrigation water.

“Congress is responsible for the backwardness of the Mahabubnagar district. During the party rule, the people of the district suffered a lot and people migrated to other places for livelihood. It was during the BRS rule that the district developed and migration stopped,”he said.
