Union Minister and BJP MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Saturday claimed that the Telangana government reduced farmers' financial aid under the Rythu Bharosa scheme from ₹15,000 per acre to ₹12,000 per acre. "Declaration became deception, guarantees became fantasies within a year of Congress rule in Telangana," he said. "Rahul Gandhi has stabbed farmers in the back yet again," Kumar added.
