Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao should immediately call for an all-party meeting, besides a meeting with farmers associations, to discuss the ways to mitigate the woes of the farming community, urged Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Thursday.
In an open letter to Mr .Rao, the BJP leader stated that during his ongoing second stage of the ‘Praja Sangrama Yatra’, many farmers had complained about the delay in waiver of the loans and tenant farmers rued the lack of any government scheme for them.
The TRS had offered to waive loans to the extent of one lakh rupees for all farmers in the last elections but so far the government had issued just ₹1.44.38 crore, benefitting 5.66 lakh farmers, while another 31 lakh are waiting to get the same benefit, he said.
