Telangana govt does not have concern for farmers, says Vivek

Deccan Chronicle  

Warangal: Telangana government is looting innocent farmers by joining hands with the rice millers, former MP and BJP national executive member Vivek Venkatswamy said on Wednesday. The state government betrayed the farmers by not waiving off farm loans, not giving subsidy on fertilisers and not sanctioning compensation for the crop loss, he alleged. Since the state government is not implementing the Fasal Bima Yojana scheme in the state, the farmers are not getting compensation from the crop loss. Vivek demanded that the state government must take immediate steps and stop the rice millers looting the farmers and should sanction Rs 20,000 compensation to the farmers for the crop loss immediately along with implementing Fasal Bima Yojana.
