KTR pledges KCR kits to 4,910 new mothers in Sircilla under ‘Gift A Smile' campaign
Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao has announced his decision to distribute KCR Kits to all 4,910 new mothers and their babies who had institutional deliveries in government hospitals in Sircilla over the last 18 months, as part of his 'GiftASmile' campaign, undertaken annually on his birthday. Taking to X, Rama Rao stated: 'The last five birthdays have been absolutely fulfilling for me personally with the launch of the #GiftASmile campaign. Year 2020 was a tough year for everyone around the globe, and healthcare required much attention. So, under 'GiftASmile', with the help of my supporters, we managed to gift a total of 108 ambulances to various government hospitals in our state. In 2021, more than 1,400 custom-made tri-wheelers were provided to differently-abled brothers and sisters who needed them. We focused on education in 2022. We managed to provide 6,000 Samsung tabs in Sircilla district. There was a significant rise in the number of students who cracked NEET/JEE and other competitive examinations—something I will definitely cherish for a lifetime. Year 2023 also focused on education. We were able to assist 116 meritorious children from the State Home, Yousufguda, providing them with high-powered i5 Dell laptops and extending all necessary support for their training and coaching. During 2024, we observed an unfortunate rise in weaver suicides in Sircilla district. Thus, last year was dedicated to helping all those families affected by such tragic deaths. This year, I want to focus on progress, hope, and life. There have been 4,910 institutional deliveries in the past 18 months in Sircilla district. Each scheme introduced by KCR is certainly life-changing. But if I have to pick a favourite, it will be the KCR Kit. What is more life-changing than life itself?' Rama Rao added that 'what started as a small idea of avoiding bouquets on birthdays has now become an annual ritual that I truly look forward to! I am eternally thankful to everyone who has been a part of 'GiftASmile'.'

'People disillusioned with Cong govt'
HYDERABAD: Former minister and BRS leader T Harish Rao said people were disillusioned with the Congress govt in the state as the ruling party had failed to fulfil its promises. "After seeing the 18 months of Revanth Reddy 's rule, people have realised difference between Revanth Reddy and KCR's governance," he said. Speaking at a meeting in Sangareddy district on Wednesday where Congress youth leader Patola Prashanth Reddy joined the BRS, Harish Rao said the Congress govt discontinued the welfare schemes implemented by the BRS govt, such as KCR Kit, Bathukamma sarees, and diesel amount for gram panchayat tractors.

But the Congress govt did not release the Rythu Bharosa amount to the farmers last year for two seasons," the ex-minister said. Harish Rao, accepting the challenge by TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud, said he was ready to debate on the welfare schemes anywhere and ready to prove the difference between the BRS and Congress govts.

Ready for debate on any issue, Harish dares CM Revanth Reddy
Hyderabad: BRS leader T Harish Rao on Wednesday took potshots at chief minister A Revanth Reddy, stating that he was ready for a debate on any issue of the latter's choice — be it Kaleshwaram, loan waiver, rythu bharosa, the claim of filling 60,000 posts or caste census. Responding to the chief minister's speech, the former minister accused Revanth Reddy of politicising Basaveshwara Jayanti and the SSC results announcement for cheap political mileage. He said the chief minister had earlier backtracked on the debate over the implementation of the loan waiver scheme.

Don't beg for KCR to take your name, he doesn't entertain the uncultured," he said. Harish Rao further said that several welfare schemes have been stalled under Congress rule, including Dalit Bandhu, BC Bandhu, KCR Kit, pension dues, 2BHK housing, scholarships, and fee reimbursement.
