KCR is anti-farmer, says Amit Shah

Senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao of being “anti-farmer” denying farmers the benefit of ‘PM Fasal Bima Yojana’ (crop insurance scheme) and not purchasing paddy at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) prescribed by the Centre.

“If you elect our party to power in the next elections, I promise you that our government will buy every single kilo of paddy being produced by the farmers and implement the farm insurance scheme,” he promised at a public meeting in Munugode on Sunday.

After formally welcoming Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy into the party by offering him the saffron scarf, giving him a bear hug and greeting the people holding his hand, Mr. Shah urged the gathering to ensure the former is elected again and singularly focused on KCR’s election promises and the family rule during his speech.
