Cabinet should discuss implementation of guarantees: BJP

The BJP has demanded the Revanth Reddy Cabinet discuss the implementation of guarantees and promises made in the ruling Congress’s manifesto in the Cabinet meeting scheduled to be held on Thursday.

Addressing a press conference at the party office, legislature party leader A. Maheshwar Reddy said it has been 18 months since the Congress government took charge but so far there has been no word on the promises made to farmers, youth, women and students like enhancing financial assistance and stipends.

He demanded the government to release money to the farmers under ‘Rythu Bharosa’, provide for the farm labour and tenant farmers as well as complete the pending ₹9,000 crore due under the loan waiver scheme. The government is not even implementing the PM Fasal Bhima Yojana which will fetch insurance to the farm produce.

Similarly, scores of students careers are under jeopardy due to the non-release of fee reimbursement scheme with the college managements refusing to part with the degree certificates, he said.

In another press meet, MLA P. Rakesh Reddy wanted the government to focus on the farmers’ woes due to the early monsoon and issues in paddy procurement accusing it of concentrating more on the Miss World contest at the cost of other administrative actions.

Later at the airport, national leader Abhay Patil claimed that the Modi government has been liberal in sanctioning crores of funds for the State under various schemes and projects, hence it is not fair to criticise the party. Both the BRS regime and now the Congress are guilty of shoddy administration, he charged and advised the latter to pull up its socks for the sake of the welfare of people as well as development of the State.
