Congress regime has brought only trouble for farmers, says Kavitha
BRS MLC K Kavitha called upon the BRS activists to educate people about the cheating being done to various sections by the Congress government by visiting each and every village.
Jagtial: BRS MLC K Kavitha said farmers were facing troubles due to indifferent decisions being taken by the State government. She called upon the BRS activists to educate people about the cheating being done to various sections by the Congress government by visiting each and every village.
Participating in a BRS silver jubilee preparatory meeting here on Wednesday, Kavitha said the Flood Flow Canal was used to its full capacity like a perennial river throughout the year during the BRS regime. There were no problems for both irrigation and drinking water. However, there was no water in the FFL after the Congress came to power. As a result, the farmers of upstream areas such as Mallial, Katkapur, Metpalli and others were facing troubles for irrigation water.
Former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao used to allow farmers to draw water from the FFL by arranging motors. Besides passing orders for non-removal of motors, the BRS president had also instructed electricity department officials not to collect power charges from farmers who arranged motors on the canal. However, the situation has changed with the Congress regime and officials were now removing motors from the canal, she said, adding that the Congress had failed to fulfill the promises made to farmers before the elections.
Though it claimed that Rythu Bharosa was paid to all farmers, not even 60 percent farmers got the benefit, she said, adding that same was the case of the crop loan waiver, which was provided only to 50 percent ryots.
