He said the new Congress government was ignoring the crop losses that could lead to rise in farmer’ suicides in the State.

ముఖ్యమంత్రి గారు..
రైతులంటే.. మీకు ఎందుకింత చిన్నచూపు..?

నిన్న.. పంటలు ఎండుతున్నా పట్టించుకోలేదు..
నేడు.. వడగండ్లు ముంచెత్తినా కన్నెత్తి చూడటంలేదు..

ఢిల్లీ పెద్దల చుట్టూ ప్రదక్షిణలు తప్ప..
గల్లీలో రైతుల కన్నీళ్లు కనిపించవా…?
అన్నదాతల ఆర్థనాదాలు వినిపించవా..??

The BRS working president highlighted the disconnect between political maneuvering and genuine governance, lamenting the lack of focus on crop damage and agricultural support amidst efforts to achieve political goals.

He called for sustained attention and action to alleviate farmers’ suffering. “Is your Praja Palana (people’s governance) only about politics? Don’t you have any compassion for the farmers who are facing adversities? Till now, you failed to ensure irrigation water for the crops. Now, you are ignoring your responsibility of providing compensation for the crop loss caused due to hailstorm. Remember that a State where farmers’ are ignored, can never prosper,” he cautioned.

Redefining BRS as the Bharat “Rythu” Samithi, Rama Rao pledged to continue advocating for farmers’ rights and fighting against injustices inflicted upon them.
