As per report if TRS party emerged victorious in the assembly elections, then major credit should go to the pro-farmers schemes. Meanwhile among them is the Rythu Bandhu scheme which gives financial assistance to farmers which is Rs 5000/- per acre. Presently with the scheme getting a phenomenal response, the central government has also initiated the process to implement it.
Reportedly the 'Rythu Bandhu' scheme is temporary and once a farmer is provided with basic facilities for agriculture, it would be shelved. Telangana agriculture chief secretary Parthasarathy said “He went on to say that this scheme may not last long and the day when a farmer is arranged the infrastructure needed for farming, this scheme will be withdrawn”. Furthermore these statements of Parthasarathy have become controversial and TRS leaders are completely shocked by the senior government official's words.
Presently a total of 57,15,870 farmers in Telangana are getting paid Rs 5000/- twice a year by the government and just a day before the polling, the Telangana government transferred the amount to the farmers accounts. Apparently more than ninety per cent of the farmers voted for TRS party and having got to know about this, the chief minister's office has asked for an explanation from Parthasarathy.
