Telangana Rastra Samiti (TRS) president and state's caretaker Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao has said that if the Congress comes to power, the state will go blind.
Talking about providing electricity to Siddipet district, Rao said during a public address, "Telangana state ranked number one in all the sectors. In the next two years, train will come to Siddipet. The TRS has set up a Medical College in Siddipet district. It has announced that 24-hour electricity would be given at free of cost to the farmers. But if the Congress comes in power, the state will become blind."
He further said that food processing units will be set up in each constituency and their responsibilities will be handed over to women unions.
"Passbook for the farmers will be given by the officers at their houses. From next year Rs.10, 000 will be given to the farmers for one acre of land. Crops cultivated by farmers will be bought through women's unions in villages. Food processing units will be set up in each constituency and their responsibilities will be handed over to women unions. We are working without corruption," KCR said.
He also annouced that his government will soon come up with a new scheme for the farmers. "The actual problem for farmers is the cost of the crop. A wonderful scheme has been created for it and will be implemented in the coming days," Rao said.
The Telangana Assembly elections are scheduled to be held on December 7 to elect members from 119 constituencies. The counting of votes will take place on December 11.
The Telangana State Assembly was dissolved prematurely in September on the recommendation of the ruling KCR-led Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government.
