CM KCR issues a warning against 'bloodsucking leeches' preying on farmers.

When speaking out against what he called "bloodsucking leeches" who are attacking farmers, Chief Minister KCR warned that the farmers would lose a lot of money if they lost access to Dharani, an inviolable database of land titles.

Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao of Telangana issued a warning to the public on Tuesday, saying that 'bloodsucking leeches' were attempting to 'feast' on the State's farmers and that Dharani, Telangana's integrated land records management system, was the only genuine source of documentation about land holdings of farmers.

He made clear reference to the leaders of the Congress party who had been trying to discredit Dharani on multiple occasions by saying that whoever wanted to "dump Dharani in the Bay of Bengal" should be dumped in the water first.

At a packed public assembly in Nagarkurnool, Chandrashekhar Rao warned that the farmer community would suffer greatly if they lost access to Dharani, an infallible and unchangeable land records system. He remarked that picturing the Telangana farmer operating with Dharani was easier.

He emphasized that farmers, as legal custodians of the land, have full authority to make changes to the land registry and that, thanks to technological upgrades, a farmer's fingerprint is all that is needed to make a change.
