Revanth Reddy and Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu at Charminar on Sunday. The gesture was to express gratitude for the waiving of crop loans.
Senior Congress leaders, including Charminar Incharge Mujeebullah Shareef, Bahadurpura Incharge P. Rajesh, General Secretary Ch.

Speaking to the media, Waliullah Sameer highlighted the significance of waiving crop loans amounting to Rs 31,000 crore for nearly 40 lakh farmers, calling it a historic occasion achieved within eight months of coming to power. “Congress delivered what it promised in its election manifesto. Just like waiving crop loans, the Congress government will fulfil all the promises it made to the people,” he stated.

He cited examples of free travel for women in RTC buses, gas cylinders for Rs 500, and free power for up to 200 units for thousands of households. He mentioned the upcoming issue of new ration cards by the Congress government and assured that Hyderabad DCC leaders would assist people in availing all the benefits of these schemes.
