TRS flays attempts to paint farmers’ deaths as suicides
The Hindu
Party suggests them to go through NCRB statistics
The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has strongly criticised the attempts of some organisations working in the name of farmers to spread misinformation about farmers deaths in the State by painting them as suicides.
Chairman of the Telangana Rashtra Rythu Bandhu Samithi (RBS) and MLC Palla Rajeshwar Reddy said here on Monday that “Rythu Swarajya Vedika, a commercial organisation being run in the name of farmers by some Andhra leaders along with a few media houses owned by Andhra managements” were trying to depict the deaths of farmers, recorded in the Rythu Bima group life insurance scheme as suicides, for the last few weeks.
Such organisations and their leaders along with Andhra media houses are unable to digest the farmers’ welfare schemes being implemented by the Telangana government and trying to show deaths recorded under Rythu Bima as suicides disregarding even the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) statistics, Mr. Reddy said addressing mediapersons.
