BJP Andhra Pradesh unit general secretary S. Vishnuvardhan Reddy has said that the YSRCP government is indifferent to the plight of the farmers who have incurred heavy losses due to the recent rain.
“The Agriculture Minister and the officials are just making statements. They are not taking any concrete action to mitigate the losses,” he said in a press release on May 22 (Monday).
Mr. Vishnuvardhan Reddy said that crops in lakhs of acres were damaged by rain that lashed many parts of the State in April and May. “However, the farmers are yet to get the compensation. Farmers have lost ready-to-harvest crops. The Ministers could not spare time to even take note of the travails of the farmers and the officials are not taking the necessary action,” he alleged.
