KCR’s ex gratia to farmers is another political drama: Revanth
The Hindu
‘CM ignored deaths of Telangana farmers over the last 7 years’
Terming Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao a ‘political opportunist’, TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy asked how do people believe his announcement of ₹3 lakh ex gratia to farmers who lost their lives during the farmers’ agitation when he ignored the deaths of Telangana farmers over the last seven years.
In a statement here, Mr. Reddy said that 7,500 farmers died in Telangana as per the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report while unofficially the figure stands at 40,000. “KCR never even acknowledged the deaths, leave alone compensating them,” he said.
Similarly, Telangana martyrs were not identified properly even after seven years and ex gratia was not given to the families despite him enjoying power due to their sacrifices. He said that the CM also announced ₹10,000 to each family during the floods of Hyderabad before the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections but ignored it after the polls.
