Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has appealed to the farmers to select the “right party wisely” in the next elections, and not get carried away by the “mala fide manifesto” of the opposition party.
Addressing a public meeting here on June 1 (Thursday) before disbursing a financial assistance of ₹3,923.21 crore to 52,30,939 farmers under the ‘YSR Rythu Bharosa - PM Kisan’ scheme, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said, “Farmers’ welfare is State’s welfare. The government is extending the aid under the scheme for the fifth consecutive year though it has not been mentioned in the party manifesto. Including the current tranche of assistance, the government has so far disbursed ₹61,500 to each farmer in the State.”
