As of September 12, sowing operations have been completed in only 1.23 crore acres, around 95 per cent of the normal cultivation area of 1.29 crore acres for the ongoing Vanakalam season.

Harish Rao said Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy had set different deadlines for implementing the crop loan waiver, but implemented it only partially at the cost of skipping the Rythu Bharosa investment support for the ongoing Vaanakalam (Kharif) season.

The move, which will have the primary objective of exposing the double standards of the Congress party and the failures of the Congress government, will begin after a meeting with party leaders and cadre around September 10

Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao on Wednesday hinted that the framework for the scheme would be finalised only after the implementation of the farm loan waiver scheme by the end of August.
