KTR Claims Revanth Reddy About To Join BJP Soon

BRS working president K T Rama Rao today made explosive comments about CM Revanth Reddy.

He claimed that Reddy had recently told his close associates that his next political move would be towards the BJP.

KTR claimed that Reddy was certain to join the BJP along with his team soon.

"Revanth Reddy allegedly promised Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah that he was born in the BJP and would end his political journey in the BJP," KTR said.

He said that Reddy had told Modi that he had started his political journey with the ABVP and would end it under the same saffron flag.

"Revanth Reddy must clarify to the public whether this is true," KTR said.

KTR also criticized the government for its failure to effectively implement the loan waiver scheme.

"The SLBC (State Level Bankers' Committee) said that 47 lakh farmers took loans, and Revanth Reddy said that Rs 40,000 crore would be required for the crop loan waiver scheme. However, the cabinet approved only Rs 31,000 crore, and the budget allocated for the scheme then was merely Rs 27,000 crore. In the end, they announced a loan waiver of just Rs 17,000 crore, benefiting only 22 lakh farmers of the State. Clearly, the entire loan waiver process was a sham," he said.

KTR claimed that the loan waiver had not reached at least 40% of the farmers, who were now in deep distress. He accused the Congress of engaging in attention-diversion tactics to distract from the failure.

"And while the Chief Minister claims that 100% of the loan waivers have been completed, the government's establishment of special counters for those who did not receive waivers exposes the administration's incompetence," he said.

"The BRS will gather detailed information on the loan waivers at the village level. The data will then be submitted to the various district Collectors and subsequently to the State government. If the government fails to address the farmers' concerns, state-wide protests will commence in two days," he said. He said that the BRS would start collecting data from the Chief Minister's constituency, and proceed to all the other constituencies later.
