Former Minister and senior Congress leader Marri Shashidhar Reddy has demanded a white paper on the losses suffered by farmers due to nature’s fury, and the funds allocated by the Central and the State governments for their relief.
At a press conference here, he said it is strange that the government talks about Rythu Bandhu every time farmers suffer huge losses due to damage to crops in floods. The State government has estimated losses to the tune of ₹1,339 crore in the recent rains but the Central teams are yet to even look into the reports.
