State govt. committed to farmers’ welfare, says vice-chief of Agri Mission

While asserting that the State government was committed to the welfare and development of farmers, YSRCP Agriculture wing president and Agri Mission Vice-Chairman M.V.S. Nagi Reddy said people would not take into account the provocative statements of Opposition leader N. Chandrababu Naidu and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan, who were politically rejected, with regard to crop holiday in the Konaseema region.

Speaking to the media at the party central office here on Saturday, he slammed the opposition parties for ‘conspiring against the State government’ in the name of crop holiday in the Konaseema region for their vested interests. “Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is a committed leader who has fulfilled 96% of the poll promises,” he added.

Mr. Nagi Reddy said it was Mr. Naidu who had implemented Section 30  in the Konaseema region and “suppressed the farmers’ agitations” in the region when they announced a crop holiday. He said the Agriculture Mission would take any issue related to the Konaseema farmers to the notice of the Chief Minister and resolve them.
