Stating that the latest spell of untimely rain and hailstorms have dealt another crippling blow to the farmers of Karimnagar district and elsewhere in the State, BJP State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Monday accused Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao of failing to deliver on his promise of providing relief to the farmers who had suffered crop losses in the last month’s rain/hailstorm devastation.
“During his visit to Ramadugu mandal last month, the Chief Minister announced release of ₹228 crore relief to the rain-hit farmers in the State at a rate of ₹10,000 an acre. But not even a single rupee has been disbursed to the distraught farmers so far,” said Mr. Sanjay, while addressing media persons.
He, along with a host of BJP district leaders, visited the rain/hailstorm-ravaged paddy fields and other damaged crops in Chamanpally in Karimnagar rural mandal and Vedurugatta in Choppadandi mandal in Karimnagar district on Monday.
