KCR IS REASON FOR SUICIDES ACROSS TELANGANA

Senior TTDP leader Errabelli Dayakara Rao on Thursday demanded that the Telangana Government has to increase the ex-gratia to the families of farmers who committed suicide to Rs. 5 lakh. 

Speaking to media, Errabelli alleged that hundreds of farmers have committed suicide due to the wrong policies of TRS Government and KCR. He said presently Telangana ranks second in the country in cases of farmer’s suicides. He said neighbouring Andhra Pradesh State has increased the ex-gratia amount to Rs. 5 lakh and the Telangana Government should follow the same. He also slammed the TRS Government for not fulfilling the crop loan promise. He said many farmers could not get crop insurance as its deadline ends on Friday.This is only due to the failure of TRS Government.

Errabelli said farmers in Telangana were in depression as they lost their crops due to bad monsoon. He said other farmers were not getting adequate price for their produce. He reminded that while in opposition T.Harish Rao visited the Market Yards and launch a strong protest. However, despite holding the portfolio of Marketing, Harish Rao has failed to ensure better price to the farmers for their produce.
