BJP lashes out at YSRCP government for leaving farmers in the lurch in drought-hit mandals in A.P.

Farmers in Andhra Pradesh are suffering as the YSRCP government is indifferent to their plight, alleges BJP national secretary Y. Satya Kumar.

Addressing the media here on November 19, Mr. Satya Kumar said that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and Chief Secretary K.S. Jawahar Reddy were issuing divergent statements on the prevalence of drought in the State.

“While Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy says there is no drought in the State, Mr. Jawahar Reddy admits its prevalence. Agriculture Minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy has his own version on the issue. There is no coordination between the officials and the political leadership.  In the process, the farmers are at the receiving end,” the BJP leader said.
