The Revanth Reddy-led Telangana government is assessing its next administrative steps following the municipal election results, with internal deliberations focusing on the timing of the Rythu Bandhu scheme and upcoming local body elections. The government is reportedly considering issuing the notification for MPTC and ZPTC elections soon after municipal outcomes are finalized.
The approach reflects a broader political and administrative calculation, with attention on farmer sentiment and electoral timing.
Reassessment of Proposed Beneficiary Cuts
Initial discussions within the government had considered reducing coverage under the Rythu Bandhu scheme by nearly 30 percent through a satellite-based survey. However, feedback from ground-level assessments indicated that such a move could lead to strong dissatisfaction among farmers, particularly ahead of local body elections.
In view of these reports, the government is understood to have reconsidered the proposal. Officials are now inclined to distribute Rythu Bandhu benefits this time without major reductions in beneficiary coverage.
Election Timing Under Consideration
The government is also evaluating the schedule for MPTC and ZPTC elections. Administrative discussions indicate that if municipal election results are favorable, the notification for these elections could be issued without delay.
However, if the municipal outcomes are not in line with expectations, authorities are considering whether to proceed immediately with the elections or defer them. The decision is expected to be based on a political and administrative assessment of the situation.
Future of Rythu Bandhu Payments
With no immediate major elections expected after the local body polls, discussions have also touched upon the long-term implementation of the Rythu Bandhu scheme. Administrative circles are evaluating financial and policy considerations for future disbursements.
The government has not made any formal announcement regarding these deliberations. Officials continue to review feedback, electoral developments, and administrative priorities before finalizing decisions on both welfare distribution and election scheduling.
