Telugu Desam Party (TDP) former MLA Dhulipalla Narendra Kumar accused the State government of pushing the agriculture sector into a deep crisis with its ‘endless betrayals and anti-farmer policies’.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Mr. Narendra Kumar deplored that agriculture production has witnessed a steep decline in the past three years. Farmers suffered crop losses in 26 lakh acres but the government has not compensated them fairly, he alleged.
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy would go down in history as one who made farmers suffer, and the State has seen the highest number of suicides by farmers and tenant farmers, he alleged.
