Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao blamed the Congress government’s incompetence leading to worsening agrarian crisis in Telangana. He charged Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy with failing to fulfill poll promises, leading to the tragic suicides of 420 farmers in just 420 days of governance.
“The sin of 420 false promises has resulted in 420 farmer deaths. The Congress government has pushed farmers to take this extreme step,” he said, criticising the government’s failure to support both land-owning and tenant farmers.
Lashing out at the administration, the BRS working president said Telangana, which flourished in the last decade, is now suffering due to incomplete crop loan waivers, halted Rythu Bharosa investment assistance, and policy paralysis. “An indecisive Chief Minister and an irresponsible government have crippled the rural economy,” he said.
He criticised the Congress government for betraying farmers with unkept promises and pushing Telangana’s once-thriving agricultural sector in distress. “If you have any concern for farmers, address the issues and stop this farmers’s suicides immediately,” he demanded.
