- Agriculture department reviews cuts to crop bonus
- We are opposing the Cabinet decision on the purchase
- Rs.16,545 crore should be paid for pending Rythu Bharosa dues including rainy season: Harish Rao
Hyderabad, June 18 (Namaste Telangana): Former Minister and BRS Deputy Floor Leader Harish Rao expressed his anger that Revanth Sarkar, who had cut the crop bonus in the previous agriculture review. He criticized that the Congress government is ruining the life of farmers with its strange decisions and worst policies every day and is pushing agriculture into crisis.
They said that the Congress government is playing with the lives of farmers through destructive policies. They expressed anger that saying that instead of purchasing in the old system, they will only purchase grain according to the quota set by the central government, it means that the state government is withdrawing from the purchase of grain.
Can state government buy crops? Revanth Reddy, who asked this when he was in the opposition, asked why now they are using the Center as an excuse to cut the throats of farmers. A statement was issued on Thursday strongly opposing the decision of the state cabinet on procurement of crops. According to the media witness, the state cabinet has admitted that the crops cannot be bought, if the government does not buy the crop, what should the farmers do with the harvested crop? Hide at home? He asked. He criticized the government for playing with the lives of farmers. Imposing restrictions on purchases in the name of quotas is to leave the farmers at the mercy of MARET brokers, they said.
Conspiracy to bankrupt farmers
Harish Rao criticized that if KCR made peasants king, then Revanth Reddy would conspire to bankrupt them. Duyyabatta said that saying that only seven varieties of Sanna should be cultivated in order to get the crop bonus is imposing restrictions on cultivation. ‘The situation of the farmers who planted sorghum, maize, sunflower and chickpeas after believing what you said about crop rotation has become a disaster. He expressed concern that if the government imposes conditions and restrictions on the purchase of grain, farmers’ lives will come to a halt. He criticized CM Revanth Reddy for betraying the farmers by making cuts in loan waiver, farmer insurance, farmer insurance, crop bonus, purchases, water supply and electricity supply.
Is it not a proof of government failure?
Isn’t it a proof of Congress government’s failure to leave the water to Telangana in the projects to Andhra Pradesh and now tell the farmers ‘there is no water so take care of the crops’? Harish Rao asked. Although experts have always warned about the impact of El Nino, why no early measures have been taken? He rued that even though letters were written before the meeting of the Tri-member Committee on Krishna Waters that there is water shortage in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh has already diverted excess water, why did they release 10 TMC of water to AP again?
Withdraw immediately
Harish Rao warned that if the government wants to avoid the responsibility of crop procurement as excuses and problems, there will be strong resistance from the Telangana farmers. He said that if the crops are not procured, the Congress will surely go down in history as an anti-farmer government. They demanded that the government immediately withdraw the anti-farmer decisions taken in the name of digital cabinet on grain procurement.
He questioned why public meetings were held to release Rythu Bharosa. He criticized that it is ridiculous that in the last Yasangi, two meetings were held and two acres were raised and hands were raised, and now they are holding an open meeting again to provide assurance to the farmers. They demanded the release of the Rythu Bharosa funds related to this rainy season and the three installments of Rythu Bharosa arrears of Rs. This amount has been requested to be deposited in the accounts of the farmers on the 30th of this month.
