Uttam Kumar Reddy said that elaborate preparations were being made to accommodate nearly 40,000 people for the event. He inspected the venue and urged Congress workers from both Huzurnagar and Kodad constituencies to attend the event along with their families. The meeting ground has been named “Rajiv Pranganam” for the occasion.

Speaking to party workers after the inspection, Uttam Kumar Reddy said the Congress government was committed to farmer welfare. He assured that the state would purchase every grain produced by farmers at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) and also provide a bonus for fine variety paddy. He said farmers should have no reason to feel discouraged under the current government.

He lashed out at the previous BRS regime for neglecting farmers and said that only after the Congress came to power were concrete steps taken to improve their condition. “We are starting the distribution of fine rice to ration card holders from Huzurnagar on Ugadi,” he announced.

The minister said Chief Minister Revanth Reddy would arrive at the venue by 5 p.m. and address the gathering for an hour. He would also inspect the 2,000 single-bedroom houses constructed at Ramaswamy Gutta as part of the state’s housing initiative for the poor.

Highlighting development plans for the region, Uttam Kumar Reddy said lift irrigation systems were being set up to ensure water for every acre in Huzurnagar. He announced that the region would soon get a ring road on the lines of Hyderabad and that new buildings were being constructed for all government offices in both Huzurnagar and Kodad constituencies.

He said the government was working to provide all civic amenities — roads, drinking water, irrigation, education, and healthcare — in the two constituencies. He also stated that ration cards would be issued to all eligible beneficiaries and that 80% of the state’s population would benefit from the fine rice scheme, bringing a major shift in food security.
