Telangana BJP president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar has demanded that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao immediately implement the loan waiver scheme for farmers for up to ₹1 lakh each totalling an estimated ₹27,500 crore as was announced before the 2018 Assembly elections on Friday.
He also urged him to withdraw his directive to the farmers not to raise paddy crop, procure every single grain that was produced as was promised and implement the PM ‘Fasal Beema scheme providing insurance by paying ₹413.50 crore of the State Government’s share to the Centre’.
In an open letter to Mr. Rao, a copy of which was released to the media, the BJP leader said the assurance given to the farmers to provide free fertilizer should be adhered to and procurement centres for maize be initiated to save farmers from middlemen. The BJP leader informed the Chief Minister that during the course of his ‘padayatra’ in the districts of Medak, Rangareddy and Nizamabad, the farmers voluntarily came forward to explain their problems and his party would stand by them.
