Telangana Finance Minister T Harish Rao accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday of attempting to create divisions in the state. He was referring to Shah’s remarks at a public meeting against the ruling Bharata Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government here the day earlier.
“What did he say yesterday? Did he talk about the Rs 1,350 crores that we were supposed to receive? Did he mention ITIR, Bayyaram steel industry, or national project? He conveniently forgot the one who was involved in the paper leak,” Harish Rao said, according to a press release from his office.
The Telangana finance minister stated that Amit Shah’s visit was intended to create caste and religious divisions among the people.
“The BJP’s claims that they will come to power are an illusion. Will the deposit come from Khammam district? Will they come into power in the state? It’s not possible,” Harish Rao stated.
A number of attendees were also brought in from other districts for the BJP rally held in Chevella the previous day, he alleged.
“No matter how many tricks anyone tries, we are the ones who hit the hat trick. We have a people’s government that is implementing many schemes without a guarantee. Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao fought for the people, and we will continue to do so,” the Telangana finance minister said.
Harish Rao stated that the Telangana government is working hard to help farmers who have been affected by crop loss due to untimely rains. He stated that an announcement was made to provide Rs 10,000 per acre for crop loss, and that the Chief Secretary has been given instructions to assess it.

In the coming months, the minister said, the Sitarama project would provide water for every crop in Khammam district.
“Because KCR increased the value of the farmer, the value of the land increased. Farmers should not be discouraged by untimely rains. We have a farmer’s government,” said Harish Rao.
According to the finance minister, the state’s Yasangi crop cultivation has increased significantly, from 14 lakh acres in 2014 to 56 lakh acres in 2023. He also stated that the government had bought crops worth 26,600 crores last year, as compared to 3600 crores in 2014.
