Crop Loan Waiver To Be Done In One Go As Per Schedule: Bhatti

Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka today reiterated that as promised by the Congress in the Assembly election campaign, the Congress government would implement the Rs 2 lakh loan waiver for farmers in one go as per the announced schedule.

Speaking at a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan, Vikramarka said that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy had already announced in the Assembly that the loan waiver would be done by August 15, and that the State government had already initiated the process of preparing the guidelines in this regard.

"Six guarantees have been implemented in Telangana ahead of schedule. Similarly, efforts are being made to complete the loan waiver too by August 15," Vikramarka said.

The Deputy CM alleged that the previous BRS government had promised to waive off crop loans upto Rs 1 lakh, but did not do it even in five years. However, the Congress government was implementing all the welfare schemes it had promised, and that too without any misuse of public money. "The taxes paid by the people should be used for the development of Telangana State," Vikramarka said.

He also said that the guidelines for the Rythu Bharosa and crop loan waiver schemes would be prepared by taking the opinions of the people.
