Andhra Pradesh sources have reported that YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy slammed the Chandrababu Naidu government for ignoring the plight of the farmers and the farm sector, especially in view of the incessant rains that are wreaking havoc over the last three days and said the Government is insensitive to the woes of the people.
Meanwhile in a stinging open letter to Chandrababu Naidu, YS Jagan charged the Chief Minister with feigning Kumbhakarna's sleep over the issue of solving people's problems. The incessant rains have devastated 13 districts in general and Rayalaseema districts in particular. Furthermore when referring to the flight of the farm sector, he said over 10 lakh acres of agricultural land remained uncultivated this Kharif and pointed out that this was mainly because the farmers could not secure loans.
Accordingly YS Jagan said Chandrababu Naidu has achieved the dubious
distinction of ensuring that the remunerative prices for the agricultural
produce did not increase for three consecutive years. The TDP government's
failure to implement the loan waiver has made several farmers end their lives
as they are not in a position to play the penalty for the loans obtained by
them.
