KTR wishes on National Handloom Day, Praises Telangana Weavers
BRS Working President and former Minister Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao (KTR) extended heartfelt greetings to handloom artisans in a message commemorating National Handloom Day. In his remarks, KTR praised Telangana's weavers for their remarkable skill, particularly noting their ability to weave sarees small enough to fit in a matchbox. KTR expressed admiration for the dedication of handloom workers who have sustained a stable presence in the industry by honouring the craftsmanship passed down through generations. His sentiments were shared in a post on social media platform X. The former minister recalled a time when the livelihoods of weavers suffered under a previous unity government, asserting that the BRS regime has since revitalised the sector. He credited Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) with implementing innovative schemes aimed at bringing back handloom workers who had migrated to places like Surat and Bhiwandi in search of employment. KTR highlighted numerous initiatives by the BRS government designed to support weavers, including Chenetha Mitra, Netannaku Cheyutha, Netanna Bima, Bathukamma sarees, loan waivers, and pensions. He acknowledged the hard work of handloom artisans, stating, 'They have turned their nerves into bundles, their blood into colours, their hearts into hearts, and their sweat into sarees, bringing civilization to mankind.'

Fertilizer shortage: KTR demands action against culprits
Hyderabad: BRS party working president and former minister Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao (KTR) has expressed his deep anger that the Revanth government has been neglecting to solve the problems of farmers of the State. He lamented that there was no farmer assurance benefit in the Congress government and added that there was also no farmer loan waiver benefit. He expressed his concern that even if the farmers take out loans and do agriculture, they were facing the shortage of fertilizers for their crops. To this extent, KTR responded to the problems of the farmers through his social media platform X. KTR questioned as to why the State government was in a situation, where even though the farmers have given Aadhaar cards as requested by the Revanth government, the State government was not in a position to give the farmers a bag of fertilizers? He demanded that the Revanth government should explain to the farmers as to why there was a shortage of 1.94 lakh metric tons of the fertilizer across the Telangana State. He protested that not only the farmers, but also the people of the State should know how the price of a bag of urea, which should have been Rs 266.50, had now reached Rs 325? He rained down questions and asked the government as to who is running the black market racket in the name of the shortage of the fertilisers? KTR demanded that the Revanth government immediately conduct an investigation against those who are responsible for the shortage of the fertilizers.
