The country goes from BRS’s “Rice Death” threat to free Congressional cuisine: CM

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Civil Supplies Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy is launching the country’s first program to distribute quality rice (Sanna Biyyam) for free to the poor through ration stores.

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said Telangana farmers had raised the highest rice crop ever, overcoming the threat of the previous BRS government that “planting rice fields is equivalent to equating their own death” and now they are a historic occasion of feeding free rice to more than 30 million people.

“It’s a tribute to the farmers,” he said, adding that the exquisite rice plan reflects the Congressional government’s commitment to the welfare of the people. He spoke after Sunday’s plan to sell the country’s first plan to distribute fine rice (Sanna Biyyam) for free to the poor.

He juggled former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), saying the idea of ​​providing quality rice to the poor never crossed his ideas, and he threatened farmers to plant rice fields. By contrast, Congress rewarded Paddy farmers with a bonus of Rs 1,199 crore to 4.41 million farmers during the latest procurement period to provide free rice to millions of dollars. He said the plan will stay here and no government dares to stop it in the future.

Reddy recalled that CM Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy started at Rs 1.90 per kilogram and later NT Rama Rao, who sold the scene to Nook and the corners of the state at Rs 2 per kilogram, saying the Congressional government has now rewrite its rewritten history as free rice, rewrite history for 31 million people.

Earlier, as people did not consume, they entered the black market through coarse rice (strong and fat varieties) offered by ration stores. Earlier people sold ration rice for Rs 10 per kilogram, and Miller recycled it to Rs 50. CM pointed out that Telangana produces about 1.2 million tons of high-quality rice, while Nargonda area contributes 800,000 tons.

Civil Supply Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy said that due to its poor quality, 80% to 90% of ration rice has been transferred, and the exquisite rice plan will be a “game changer in India’s food security environment”.

He said detailing the broader reforms of PDS under the Congressional government, he said in Telangana’s portfolio that the state has Rs 89.73 lakh ration cards and only 49,479 new cards were released during the 10-year BRS rule. Now, with the release of new cards, this number will increase to 10 million cards, covering 31,000 million beneficiaries.

The newly issued ration cards will be physical, QR code-enabled cards, although they will not include electronic chips. There will be two types of color-coded cards: – Tri-color cards for the Poverty Line (BPL) households and green cards for the above Poverty Line (APL) households.
