Govt. trying to improve their living standards, says MP
Member of Parliament Mopidevi Venkataramana Rao has flayed Opposition parties for misleading fishermen by propagating false information on G.O. 217 regarding the open auction of fish tanks and said the State government has issued orders only to free fishermen from middlemen and capitalists to improve their living standards.
Speaking to reporters at the party central office here on Tuesday, the MP said that fishermen societies exist only on paper and only a nominal amount is being given to the society members, and added that the State government will be implementing G.O. 217 to ensure ₹15,000 revenue to each member. He said the TDP and BJP are creating confusion over the G.O. only for their political interests but not for the betterment of fishermen.
