Kisan Congress president Anvesh Reddy has questioned the government arriving at ₹1,400 crore loss to the crops in recent rains without making any field study and demanded that officials be sent to the field for a realistic figure.
At a press conference here, he said crops in entire combined districts of Karimnagar, Warangal, Khammam and Adilabad were totally destroyed but there was no study on the ground in the absence of officials. Earlier, there were 50 officials to lead the teams but now there were just 10. Moreover, neither the officials nor the leaders had gone to the villages to assess the losses, he claimed.
