Warangal: AICC former Chief Rahul Gandhi said that if Congress formed Government in Telangana farm loans will be waived upto Rs Two lakhs and farmers will get right MSP for their crops.

Rahul Gandhi in his address in Rythu Sangharshana Sabha at Warangal on Friday said that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is behaving like a King, instead as Chief Minister, he doesn’t listen the voice of people. He also released the party’s Warangal Declaration, promising the farm loan waiver, Rs 15,000/ acre compensation to farmers against Rs 10,000 being given by the TRS government, procurement of all crops at an increased MSP and opening of all sugar mills.

He said every word of the declaration is the Congress party’s guarantee to the farmers whom he called the foundation of the Southern State. In an apparent swipe at KCR, he said that while the dream of Telangana’s progress remained unfulfilled, only one family had benefitted immensely after the state was carved out of Andhra Pradesh in 2014.

Rahul asserted that going forward; the Congress would have no truck with the TRS and that the assembly polls next year will be a direct fight between the Congress and the KCR-led party. He said any Congress person who wants an understanding with the TRS could either cross over to that party or the BJP. BJP wants the TRS Government to continue in Telangana so that they can rule over the state through remote control, he alleged.

Rahul Gandhi alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has an understanding with KCR and that is why central agencies such as the CBI and the ED are not going after him despite corruption in the State. Congress will not have any understanding with the person who ruined the dream of Telangana, betrayed it and stole lakhs and crores of rupees from the youth and the poor.

Rahul said that when elections come tickets will only be given to those who have fought for the people and spoken up for farmers. He was accorded a grand and traditional welcome to the rally venue in Warangal. Congress leaders said it was the party’s biggest rally since the creation of the state.
