Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K. T. Rama Rao on Wednesday urged the governments at the Centre and in Telangana to continue the welfare scheme for weavers and “rescue the handloom sector from the crisis”.
Claiming that the BRS government during the last 10 years undertook several initiatives for the welfare of weavers, he demanded that the Central and state governments implement the same schemes.
KTR, as Rama Rao is popularly known, in a statement claimed that the 10-year rule of BRS was a golden era for weavers in the nation’s history as the handloom sector made rapid strides during the period.
