KCR asks people to make an informed decision before casting vote

K. Chandrasekhar Rao urges people to make informed decisions in upcoming Assembly election. Cites example of Congress party's plans to mislead people. BRS manifesto promises 'KCR Bima, Prathi Intiki Dhima' to BPL families. Assures communal harmony and good work done in Jangaon and Bhongir will continue.

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has asked the people (electorate) to make an informed decision before casting their vote in the coming Assembly election as parties would try to confuse and mislead them.

“Assess what has been done by whom instead of believing in them blindly,” Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao said speaking at public meetings at Jangaon and Bhongir on Monday. Citing an example of how the parties would try to misled them, he said the Congress party was talking about dumping Dharani, the online land records management system, in Bay of Bengal in case they came to power.

They say it with plan to bring back the old system of meddling with land records from the level of village revenue officer against only the thumb impression of the farmer concerned now, he alleged. On the talk of tenants in agriculture, the BRS chief said the Congress designs were vicious as they want to include the tenant column only for agricultural lands.

The Congress leaders want to gobble up lands of farmers wherever possible by restoring the old system — meddling with land records. “Why are they not talking about the tenants column in properties such as residential or commercial buildings in Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills or Hitec City area,” he asked and urged people to think twice before supporting the Congress’ plans.

Against the BRS efforts to stabilise the agriculture sector with various interventions, including Dharani, Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bima and several others, the Congress leaders were already talking that only three-hour power supply was enough for farming, Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao cautioned.

The previous Congress government had nurtured anti-social elements in Bhongir but the BRS government had weeded them out to ensure peaceful lives to the people of Bhongir and its surrounding areas.

On the BRS manifesto released on Sunday, he said the ‘KCR Bima, Prathi Intiki Dhima’ was another innovative scheme under which every BPL family head would be provided with life insurance cover on the lines of Rythu Bima and in the event of the death of that head, irrespective of the reason, the kin would be paid ₹5 lakh claim. They would also be supplied fine variety rice from April/May.
