KTR demands PM Modi retract charges against Telangana govt

Accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of A making baseless allegations, BRS working president KT Rama Rao today demanded he should retract his charges against the Telangana government since chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao was the only chief minister to waive crop loans twice despite the pandemic.

Asking the Prime Minister to show even one BJP chief minister who did the same, the state industry minister said KCR has waived loans worth Rs 37,000 crore and spent Rs 73,000 in crop incentive.

He accused the Prime Minister of waiving the loans of corporates only and serving the interest of his friend Adani while imposing the burden of electricity meters on farmers.
