Telangana Hyderabad - BRS Calls for State Wide Protests
The former chief minister referred to the congress government's pledge to pay a Rs 500 bonus per quintal of paddy following the parliamentary elections. Still, chief minister Revanth reddy is now stating that the bonus will only be given for high-quality paddy, calling this a "betrayal of farmers."
He claimed that the farmers would have taught the administration a lesson if it had made this declaration before to the elections.
He claimed that under the Rythu Bandhu plan, which was put in place by the previous BRS administration, the congress government had failed to encourage farmers' investments. In addition, the congress administration has not carried out the Rythu Bharosa program, which promised increased assistance for investments.
He said that in order to ensure that farmers receive fair compensation for their produce, the government should also take action to prevent the wastage of 3-3.5 kg of paddy per quintal. He also said that his BRS would support the farmers until the state government acquired all of the produce, including rain-soaked paddy.
