The Hindu
Farmers complain of lack of support from the State government
The total extent of groundnut sown in four Rayalaseema districts has come down by 1,01,437 hectares due to unremunerative prices offered to the produce and vagaries of nature, but the YSR Congress Party government was not bothered to even assess the damage caused, said TDP leaders after launching a field survey in Pattikonda Assembly constituency in Kurnool district on Tuesday.
While farmers in Anantapur, Kurnool, Chittoor and Kadapa districts had sown the crop in 7,29,377 hectares in 2020, it came down to 6,27,940 hectares in the current kharif season, said the party’s Kurnool district president Somisetty Venkateswarlu and Anantapur district president Kalava Srinivasulu, who jointly visited fields of four farmers in Jonnagiri, Pattikonda, and Maddikera.
