Niranjan Reddy slams Opposition parties

Hyderabad, Nov.22 (Maxim News): Agriculture Minister Singireddy Niranjan Reddy today slammed the Opposition parties for their misinformation campaign on the farming activities, paddy procurement and related matters. Talking to press persons Niranjan Reddy denied comments as baseless of the opposition parties that the state government was ignoring the plight of the farmers and not procuring the paddy in the districts.

He informed that the state government offered Rs 3384.95 cr towards insurance to the farmers in three years. With this the KCR government offered help of Rs 5 lakhs each to 67,699 farmers in the state.

The Minister said that the state government has been doing everything for the cause of the farmers. The state government is buying every seed from the farmers and it is for the Centre to procure the same, he said. The Centre is trying to escape from responsibility, he expressed displeasure. The minister accused the opposition parties of trying to blame the state government.

Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is kind enough towards the farmers and offers all help on time, he claimed. As much as Rs 60,000 cr has been spends a year by the KCR Government for the farming and allied sectors in the state. Only the state of Telangana is giving such huge funds towards the farming activities through various schemes he informed.

The minister asked the opposition parties to clarify whether any states being ruled by BJP and the congress in the country are implementing the schemes that are being implemented in Telangana. We are noted for Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bhima. Rythu Vedikas, 24 hour power free to farming and others, he claimed. No other states have been able to implement such schemes as only a few states are coming to follow suit, the Minister said.

The minister further said that the KCR Government has been extending all support to the farmers. Besides giving power and rythu bandhu amount of Rs 10000 per acre a year each farmer is getting insurance coverage amount of Rs 5 lakhs in case of death. The Minister asked the opposition parties to stop mud-slinging on the government schemes he said. Instead of pressing the Centre to procure paddy and give clarity to the state BJP leaders and the Congress who are trying to make political comments, he expressed displeasure.

The Opposition parties have to mount pressure on the centre to give clarity on paddy procurement from the state. Our Chief Minister has left for Delhi to pursue the matter with the Centre, he said. We hope that the Centre will give clarity on the paddy issue and other matters of the state, the Minister said. (Maxim news)
