KTR holds Congress government responsible for farmers’ suicides, calls Revanth Reddy anti-farmer

In a statement, Rama Rao highlighted the ongoing irrigation crisis, the incomplete crop loan waiver, and the absence of the Rythu Bharosa scheme, which have left hundreds of farmers in distress, leading some to take their own lives.

Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Sunday held the Congress government responsible for the suicide deaths of three paddy farmers in the State, all on Saturday. He criticised the government’s negligence toward the farming community, stating that both land-owning farmers and tenant farmers were suffering due to lack of support.

In a statement, Rama Rao said the ongoing irrigation crisis coupled with the incomplete crop loan waiver and the absence of the Rythu Bharosa scheme, had left hundreds of farmers in a lurch, with many taking out their lives. “Farmers are dying by suicide due to the crisis, yet the government remains unmoved. The Chief Minister shows no empathy, and there is no sense of responsibility from the administration,” he remarked.

He warned that farmers would hold Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy accountable for the government’s anti-farmer policies and punish him for betraying them with his failure to deliver promises. Urging farmers not to lose hope, he exuded confidence that the farmers would overcome the crisis.

“Bad days will pass, and good days will come again. Jai Kisan!” he posted on X.
