ADILABAD: Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s scheduled public meeting in Mancherial on June 9 has assumed importance as he is likely to formally launch the 2nd phase of his schemes for distribution of sheep, house sites to the poor and a Rs 1 lakh financial assistance to BCs who depend on their caste-related vocations.
The meeting is to be held at the centre of the coal belt area spread over Mancherial, Peddapalli, and Jayashankar-Bhupalapalli districts, in the run-up to the assembly elections before the year-end.
The new schemes will be launched as part of the decennial celebration of Telangana Formation Day this year. Efforts are being made by local MLA Diwakar Rao and Balka Suman to bring large numbers of people to the meeting. KCR is coming to Mancherial after a long time to address a public meeting.
Party leaders are seeing this as the start of the ruling BRS’ campaign for the assembly elections.
