The Telugu Desam Party unit of Anantapur on Friday chalked out a plan for a prolonged agitation to highlight the agrarian crisis in the district following the rain deficit for 50 days in the current kharif season.
Due to the crisis arising out of the failure of the groundnut crop in majority of the 11 lakh hectares where the crop was sown this year, 17 farmers had reportedly committed suicide in the past 45 days, said Rayalaseema Coordinator Kalava Srinivasulu and Uravakonda MLA Payyavula Keshav at a press conference after the coordination committee meeting held for two hours in the party office.
