Telangana BJP urged the TRS government to immediately release the payments due to farmers regarding paddy procured from them during the Yasangi (rabi) season on Wednesday.
In a letter to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, party president Bandi Sanjay Kumar said the government had taken up purchase of paddy produced during the Yasangi season after a prolonged struggle by the BJP. But, in many districts, payment to farmers have not been done causing a lot of anxiety for them.
“Farmers do not have money for taking up agriculture though the kharif season has commenced and hence, forced to depend on private moneylenders,” he claimed.
