Reach Out to Farmers and Win Their Support, Santosh Urges Telangana State BJP

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Buoyed by the big success during the recent Lok Sabha elections where it won eight seats in Telangana, the party’s central leadership has decided to sustain the momentum by aggressively taking up farmers' issues and corner the state government on its failed promises. Given the inordinate delay in implementing the farm loan waiver scheme, the state BJP leaders have been directed to launch a ‘farmers’ helpline’ to get complaints on farm loan waiver issues. Talking to Deccan Chronicle, BJP general secretary Gujjula Premender Reddy said that they will be launching a ‘Ryhtu raccha banda’ signature campaign in the State on August 7 to receive complaints of farmers and bring confidence among the farming community. Of the 64 lakh farmers who took farm loans in the state, hardly 25 percent of farmers, mostly Congress activists, are getting the benefits of farm loan waiver, he said. General secretary Dugyala Pradeep Kumar, Kisan Morcha national executive member Papaiah Goud and its state secretary Anjaiah Yadav and others attended the meeting.
