'Har Ghar Jal Yojana' inspired by 'Mission Bhagiratha': TRS

TRS Working President K T Rama Rao on Friday responded to the Union Budget, stating that it was Telangana's 'Mission Bhagiratha', which inspired the Centre to launch 'Har Ghar Jal Yojana', a scheme that plans to deliver water to every household in the country.

Hyderabad: The ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in Telangana Friday claimed that the 'Har Ghar Jal Yojana' scheme announced in the Union Budget was inspired by the state government's "Mission Bhagiratha' drinking water supply scheme.

"Last year Telangana's "Rythu Bandhu" inspired Govt of India to launch 'PM Kisan Yojana'.

"Now it's Telangana's "Mission Bhagiratha" that inspired Govt of India to launch 'Har Ghar Jal Yojana'," TRS working president KT Rama Rao tweeted.

'Rythu Bandhu' is an investment support scheme for farmers.
