Jana Sena Party president K. Pawan Kalyan on Saturday said he would launch ‘Farmers Odarpu Yatra’ this month in the Godavari region to console and extend financial support to the families of the tenant farmers who ended their lives due to agrarian crisis since mid-2019 in the State.
Participating in Ugadi celebrations in Hyderabad on Saturday, Mr. Pawan accompanied by the party’s Political Affairs Committee Chairman Nadendla Manohar, announced that the Jana Sena Party would provide an ex-gratia of ₹1 lakh to the kin of the tenant farmers who ended their lives due to agrarian distress.
“The aid we announced is nominal. It is only to provide immediate relief from the distress to the family that lost a tenant farmer. I will meet every family of the tenant farmers who ended their lives during the yatra and give a patient hearing to their struggles,” said Mr. Pawan.
