Hard pressed for funds, Revanth seeks means to increase revenue
The chief minister's immediate challenge is to keep his word of waiving crop loans of farmers up to ₹2 lakh at one go by Independence Day for which he needs every nickel that drops into the state exchequer.

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Thursday warned officials against any laxity in collecting revenues. He asked them to set monthly targets and focus on meeting them. With hardly any increase in its revenues, the government is in a spot to deliver its promises, including the waiving of crop loans up to ₹2 lakh at one go by Independence Day.
