Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Kisan Morcha national president and Lok Sabha member from Fatehpur Sikri, Rajkumar Chahar has alleged that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has done nothing for farmers and is taking the credit for a plethora of Central government schemes.
“The Andhra Pradesh government is not procuring paddy at the stipulated Minimum Support Price (MSP). It has completely neglected drip irrigation scheme in the State. Much of what was promised by the Chief Minister to the farm sector has been confined to rhetoric,” said Chahar, while addressing the Kisan Morcha’s State executive meeting here on Sunday.
As far as the ‘injustice meted out to farmers’ in Amaravati was concerned, he said, the Kisan Morcha would stand by them in the fight for their legitimate rights.
