*Hyderabad* – Controversy has erupted over a recent loan waiver granted to Prasad Kumar, the Speaker of the Telangana Legislative Assembly, who represents Vikarabad Constituency. The state government has approved a waiver of ₹1.50 lakh on a loan previously taken by Kumar from the Tandoor PACS.This waiver has sparked criticism as it contrasts sharply with the Congress government’s policy of providing loan waivers to poor farmers based on white ration card criteria. Critics argue that the government’s selective approach appears to favor political leaders and influential figures, including PAC Chairmen, Society Directors, and other officials.While the government maintains that the waiver for Speaker Kumar is a legitimate administrative decision, the move raises questions about equity and transparency in the application of loan waiver policies. The issue has drawn scrutiny from various quarters, highlighting disparities in how financial relief measures are implemented.
