Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has launched a ‘stinging’ attack on all those who are at the helm in the Congress government for “sheer incompetence that nullified the benefits given to farmers during the BRS rule and imposed a manmade calamity on them.”
“The enormity of the ‘artificial’ calamity presently gripping Telangana is much bigger than any natural calamity,” he said, adding that a “total of 200 farmers died in the last 100 days of the Congress government” in the State.
“We have already sent the list of the deceased farmers to the authorities and the government should sanction ₹25 lakh ex gratia each to the bereaved families,” Mr. Rao said while addressing the media in Sircilla of Rajanna Sircilla district on Friday evening.
