While addressing party leaders and the cadres, Mr Rama Rao said that 43 per cent of Telangana state’s people voted for the TRS in the Assembly elections and had given a befitting reply to the Congress-led People’s Front and the BJP.
He said it was a proud moment for Telangana state that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was proposing to implement the Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bima schemes, the brainchild of Mr Chandrasekhar Rao.
Mr Rama Rao said that Odisha and Jharkhand were already replicating the Rythu Bandhu scheme and 11 states had appreciated Mission Bhagiratha and were trying to implement it.
Stating that it was an election year, he appealed to the party workers and leaders to gear up for the gram panchayat, mandal and zilla parishad, cooperative societies and Lok Sabha elections which would take place in the coming months.
