Jana Sena Party (JSP) president K. Pawan Kalyan on May 11 (Thursday) said that the Andhra Pradesh government “is not proactive in coming to the rescue of the farmers until they resort to protests seeking justice.”
Addressing the media after inaugurating the party’s Godavari region office building in the city, Mr. Pawan Kalyan said, “We are not blaming the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) for the unseasonal rains, but we blame it for its poor response to the farmers’ problems following the rains.”
“Right from the Chief Minister to the Agriculture Minister, and the district officers, none of them planned the paddy procurement process meticulously. Poor planning and coordination, and lack of serious efforts are the factors that caused huge crop loss due to the recent rains in the State,” Mr. Pawan Kalyan observed.
