Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday described both the Centre and State Governments’ as anti- farmer and blamed them for the problems being faced by the farmers for last few years.
Addressing a State level meeting of Telugu Rythu at NTR Trust Bhavan, Naidu alleged that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy lacked awareness on farmers’ problems and totally failed to address their woes. He demanded that the State Government release a White Paper on power situation in the State and in case the government fails, the TDP would bring out a 'black paper'. “The farmers are suffering huge losses due to the inefficient government and incapable Chief Minister” he said.
Naidu said that the ultimate goal of the TDP was to make agriculture a profitable and sustainable profession for farmers and rural masses. He demanded that the government link the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme to agriculture sector to provide employment to the farmers.
