He said the Congress party would come to power in the next 12 months and would implement their Warangal declaration in a complete manner. He promised to waive off ₹2 lakh crop loans of the farmers within 30 days of coming to power.

Commenting on the Rythu Bandhu scheme, he said the scheme was not required for the rich farmers. He also said they would bring changes in the existing Dharani portal.
