Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar urged his party men to help farmers who had suffered heavy crop losses due to unseasonal rains and hailstorm in the last few days, by taking up field visits and collecting details of the extent of damage.
In a tele-conference with district presidents on Tuesday, he said that the details can be given as representations to the respective District Collectors seeking assistance to the affected farmers in the next two days and the party can take up an agitation if there was no response from the government.
The BJP pointed out that crops got washed away at several places and hailstorms wrecked further damage with the plight of tenant farmers more pitiable having taken lands on lease and heavy loans on top of it but now staring at huge losses.
