Why so many deaths in Telangana if KCR govt is pro-farmer, asks FM Nirmala
Hyderabad, Sept. 03: Countering Telangana Health Minister Harish Rao’s comments over Ayushman Bharat scheme, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday said that 2,237 farmers committed suicide in Telangana from 2017 to 2019. “Why so many farmers’ deaths in Telangana if KCR government is pro-farmer,” she asked.
The union minister recalled that the TRS government vowed to writ off Rs 17,000 crore crop loans. “Farm loans of only 5% farmers waived off by the state government till now,” she slammed. She expressed anger over the Telangana government for not paying full compensation to displaced of Kaleshwaram, Palamuru-Rangareddy, Sitarama, and Mid-Manair irrigation projects.
Nirmala claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is aware of the needs of states. “Several welfare schemes were introduced by the Modi government for farmers from 2014,” she stated and faulted the KCR government for politicising issues of farmers to derive political mileage. She is continuing her third day tour of Telangana on Saturday.
