The Hindu
‘Centre turned a blind eye to increasing prices of fertilizers’
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing dismay that contrary to the Centre’s policy of doubling farmers’ income, the input costs of agriculture had doubled in the last five years and the income of farmers declined causing them distress.
He recalled that it was in February 2016 that the Centre had announced it will double the farmers’ income in six years by 2022 but after five years, no specific or structured programme had been initiated in that direction.
