AP Sugarcane Farmers Association held its first convention on Wednesday in the town's Sriprakash Vidyaniketan. Speaking as the chief guest, he said that the central and state governments were not taking farmers seriously. He explained that over 14 crore farmers across the country have bank accounts and only 8 crore of them have got the cash deposited in the accounts.
