‘CM confined to Delhi when people are hit by flood’
The Hindu
Immediate payment of compensation to ryots demanded
BJP State president and Lok Sabha member Bandi Sanjay Kumar came down heavily on Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, alleging that he had been playing politics in New Delhi while people were reeling under floods. “Farmers are facing so many problems but there is no one who can address their problems. The Chief Minister has failed to keep the promise of loan waiver to farmers and they are not getting remunerative price for their produce,” said Mr. Sanjay, while addressing a press conference at Shivampet on Wednesday, the 12th day of Praja Sangrama Padayatra. He demanded that farmers be paid compensation without delay in the name of forming committees to assess losses. He wanted to know how Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao was able to generate lakhs of rupees in farming while ordinary farmers were incurring loss. He said soil testing was not being done despite the Centre releasing ₹120 crore for the purpose. The BJP leader demanded that there be no restrictions on celebrating Vinayaka Chaturthi in the State. Mr Sanjay asked whether Hindu samaj needed a permission to celebrate the festival peacefully. He asked the DGP not to create problems for celebrating Hindu festivals, particularly Ganesh Chaturthi.More Related News
