The Rich farmers will not get the Rythu Bandhu like in earlier times. People who were just having barren lands in the name of agriculture were drawing these funds from the earlier BRS Government.
Even the BRS was thinking of stopping the help to the rich farmers. Even KCR was getting the Badhu scheme as he is doing agriculture. The newly-formed Congress government assumed office on December 7, 2023, and immediately started Rythu Bandhu disbursement, from December 11, 2023.
So far a few lakh of farmers under 4 acres of land were given the Rythu Bandhu.The Congress government decided to pay salaries to all state government employees across the state on the first of every month, unlike the phased payments during the previous BRS government, due to which employees faced several hardships.
The Congress government paid salaries to staff on January 5, while it started crediting the amounts on the first of February. The funds were mobilised for payment of salaries to staff.
There was some delay in disbursement of Rythu Bandhu to farmers, official sources said. Despite this, it is an earlier timescale when compared to the previous BRS government, they said.
