Telangana Agriculture Minister’s comments pushes farmers into confusion: KTR
The HinduHYDERABAD Working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi K.T. He said this pointing at the State Agriculture Minister Tummala Nagerswara Rao’s comments reportedly made in Delhi on Thursday that Rythu Bharosa would not be extended to the tenant farmers. Mr. Rama Rao issued a statement on Friday saying that the Congress Government led by A. Revanth Reddy made tall promises to the farming community by assuring enhanced investment support of ₹15,000 per acre under Rythu Bharosa and crop loan waiver to all farmers without any restrictions. Going a step further, he said, Mr. Revanth Reddy had even asked the farming community to borrow loans from banks in case they did not do till then as the Congress Government that would be formed in December would clear the first file on the crop loan waiver on the day of assuming office and write off dues up to ₹2 lakh to all farmers without any restrictions. However, Mr. Nageswara Rao’s comments in Delhi had pushed the farming community, particularly the tenant farmers who comprise about 20% of all those engaged in farming, into a confusion, said KTR.
