Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has stunned the opposition parties in the state by coming out with an attractive incentive for farmers – payment of Rs 4,000 per acre to each farmer, irrespective of the land holding, towards purchase of fertilisers.
Cleverly, KCR announced that the scheme would come into implementation with effect from next financial year so that the TRS would get the political advantage in the elections scheduled for the subsequent year.
It is a big setback for the Congress party which has not so far come out with any plan to attract the farmers or any other sections.
Now, the party is forced to welcome the announcement and all that the Congress leaders are doing now is to question as to why KCR had been silent on farmers’ welfare all these years.
Now, according to sources, KCR has some more sops in his pocket to attract other sections as well. One such sop is payment of unemployment allowance to the jobless youth.
For quite some time, KCR has been incurring the wrath of youth for not filling up job vacancies as promised by him during the elections. There is growing unrest among the youth and the opposition parties, particularly the Telangana Joint Action Committee, tried to cash in on it to attack the TRS government.
Now, if KCR comes out with this unemployment allowance sop, it is definitely going to turn the tide in favour of the TRS. Though this sop also might face implementation hurdles, but since it will be announced from next financial year, KCR will be able to attract the youth in a big way.
Let us and wait see how many other weapons KCR will bring out from his armoury!
