Naming schemes after Gandhis will not serve purpose, implementing them will: Harish Rao

HYDERABAD Welfare schemes in the name of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi would not serve any purpose, only fulfilment of the promises made under the schemes would be a real tribute to the two Congress stalwarts, senior BRS leader and former minister T. Harish Rao said on Saturday. AICC leader and Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi should have reviewed the ‘failures’ of the Congress Government in the State after three budgets in fulfilling the promises made.

It had become a standard formula for the Revanth Reddy Government here to announce promises or schemes and not implement them. The BRS leader suggested that Mr. Rahul Gandhi question Mr.

Revanth Reddy on why the promises made in the names of Congress stalwarts were not honoured, though the prospective beneficiaries had been awaiting the benefits. He recalled that the Congress party had promised ₹12,000 a year support to farmworkers under Indiramma Athmeeya Bharosa.
