KCR did not even construct an MRO office in his native village," CM Reddy said. The CM launched a scathing attack on KCR, accusing the previous BRS government of looting Rs 1 lakh crore of public money by constructing the Kaleshwaram project, which became a 'Kaleshwaram' project. Live Events "The previous Government had also never thought of issuing new ration cards and providing food security to the poorer sections. The People's Government issued 5.60 lakh new ration cards and registered the names of 26 lakh people. Possessing a ration card is a symbol of self-respect to the poor in the people's government," CM Reddy said, as per the release. "We have already distributed Fine Rice to 3.10 crore people till date. People were seen making a beeline before Belt shops during the BRS rule, and now people are rushing to Fair price shops for fine rice", the CM wondered why the BRS leaders are making hue and cry against the government.

"The party leaders should take responsibility for winning the party workers in the local body elections.

Under pressure from Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also announced a caste census at the national level along with the population census," CM Revanth Reddy said, as per the release. Listing out the schemes introduced for the welfare of all sections, CM Reddy said, "The BRS resorted to false propaganda on Rythu Bharosa, and the government proved it wrong by depositing Rs 9000 crore scheme benefit in farmers' accounts in just 9 days. We promoted farming as a profitable profession, and Telangana state stood number one in paddy production in the country. Rs 500 bonus, farmer's insurance, and farmer's loan waiver were only possible during Indiramma's rule. The people's government waived Rs 21,000 crores of farmers' loans and relieved 25 lakh farmers from the debt burden." Further, the CM said that the government will distribute two sarees each to 65 lakh women of self-help groups soon and provide loans of Rs 21,000 crores to self-help groups through banks.

Collapsed Kaleshwaram cannot be compared with Congress-era Nagarjunasagar, Srisailam: CM Revanth
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said there was no comparison between the irrigation projects built by the BRS, which 'collapsed' within three years, and the irrigation projects built by the Congress which continue to serve Telangana for the last 60 years. Calling the Kaleshwaram project a 'white elephant', he asked: 'How can Kaleshwaram, built at a cost of ₹1 lakh crore and collapsed within three years, be compared to Congress-era projects like Nagarjunasagar, Srisailam, SRSP and Jurala which still stand strong?' He was addressing a public meeting at Tungaturthy on Monday. Reiterating that the Congress flag will fly high for the next 10 years in Telangana, he said people should not have any doubts about it, and he appealed to the Congress workers to ensure a landslide victory in the upcoming local body elections. Fine rice scheme and ration cards are game changers and the women folk are with the party, he said, exuding confidence that the party would sweep the forthcoming local body elections. He also highlighted Telangana's historic achievements under Congress rule, such as conducting the first caste census in 100 years, pushing for 42% BC reservations in local bodies, SC reservations classification and striving to make Telangana a $1 trillion economy. The Chief Minister also pointed out the contrast between the BRS era, marked by liquor belt shops in villages, and the Congress government, under which people now queue up to receive ration cards. 'Ration cards are a matter of self-respect for the poor,' he asserted.
