BRS government failed farmers on all fronts: BJP

Union Minister of State for Agriculture Kailash Choudhary has accused the BRS government of cheating the farmers by failing to take up the promised loan waiver and not even being able to supply uninterrupted quality power for agriculture, on Saturday.

Stating that “there is no agriculture without water”, he charged the government of being neglectful in ensuring sufficient water is supplied to the farmers whereas his colleague G. Kishan Reddy and other party leaders have been taking up the issue of Krishna river water sharing aspect with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Mr. Modi is always quick to react whenever farmers issues are brought to his notice and realising the importance of changing the draft rules of the Krishna Water Dispute Tribunal, he had got it cleared in the Cabinet and got the gazette notification issued to benefit Telangana,” he explained, at a farmers conclave organised at the Exhibition Grounds to thank the PM for his gesture.
