The Hindu
Kisan Morcha, a frontal organisation of farmers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Tuesday (February 13) organised Rythu Garjana protest to highlight the plight of farmers in Andhra Pradesh. Addressing the gathering, BJP State president Daggubati Purandeswari said that the government had ignored the farmers during the last four years. “Ninety percent of farmers have fallen into debt trap. Andhra Pradesh ranks second in the country in tenant farmers’ suicide. Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, who claims to be farmer-friendly, has done nothing for the welfare of the farmers. All his promises remained on paper. The government has miserably failed in coming to the rescue of the farmers,” she said.

All his promises remained on paper. The government has miserably failed in coming to the rescue of the farmers,” she said.
“The productivity in agriculture, aquaculture and dairy sectors have come down drastically. If these are the reality, how can Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy claim to be running the farmers’ government,” she asked.
BJP national secretary Y. Satya Kumar said that the State government was afraid of the Rythu Garjna. The government created hurdles in the movement of farmers who were on their way to take part in the Rythu Garjana. The police also took the ABVP activists, who were staging a protest for justice, into custody. The government is tricking all sections of the society, he said.
Former Minister Kamineni Srinivas, Kisan Morcha State leaders Penmetsa Raju, Thota Ganga Raju, Nalla Pavan, and others also spoke.
