Nakrekal: Former MLA Chirumarthi Lingaiah demands compensation for crop losses
Criticises the Congress government administration for turning the once-thriving agricultural lands into barren fields
Nalgonda: Former Nakrekal MLA Chirumarthi Lingaiah has called for immediate intervention of the government to support farmers who have suffered extensive crop damage due to water shortage.
During his visit to the Veliminedu village in Chityala Mandal, Lingaiah interacted with farmers to understand their hardships and take stock of crop losses.
Speaking on the occasion, Lingaiah accused the Congress government of neglecting farmers’ welfare. “Green fields are withering before our eyes due to a lack of irrigation water and electricity. It left farmers in despair. The Congress government is in a deep slumber while farmers are suffering,” he said.
Lingaiah demanded compensation of Rs 50,000 per acre for the affected farmers. He urged the government to act swiftly to provide relief. He also criticized the Congress administration for turning once-thriving agricultural lands into barren fields.
In addition to this, Lingaiah condemned the suspension of former Minister Jagadish Reddy, calling it an undemocratic and baseless act.
He expressed anger over what he described as a conspiracy against a leader who stood for farmers, women, and the elderly.
“Silencing Jagadish Reddy will not achieve anything. The Telangana society is watching, and the government will have to answer for its actions,” he warned.
