JAGTIAL: Accusing Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao of adopting an indifferent attitude towards farmers in distress, Nizamabad MP Dharmapuri Arvind has said that the State government was forcing the ryots to sell their produce at lower prices.
The BJP leader on Friday inaugurated godowns set up by a private company, in cooperation with the Central government and National Bank For Agriculture And Rural Development (NABARD), for the benefit of farmers in Laxmipur village.
Speaking on the occasion, he said: “KCR is showing indifference to farmers’ plight. He lacks sincerity in coming to the rescue of farmers whose crops were damaged in recent rains and their produce soaked in rainwater.”
“Farmers are being forced to sell their produce at lower prices as the grains got soaked and germinated after recent rains. If KCR is really interested in solving the farmers’ problems, I will show the way,” he said.He demanded that Rs 10,000 compensation per acre announced by the Chief Minister should be provided immediately to the affected farmers.
