Furious KTR demands compensation for farmers
Adilabad: BRS party Working President KTR, who was on his way for the Rythu Garjana Sabha in Adilabad on Sunday evening, met former Sarpanch and former MPTC Gadge Meenakshi and Gadge Subhash of Mukhra (K) village. Along with farmers and former leaders, KTR witnessed the dried cotton crops and heard their problems. Addressing the gathering, KTR alleged that this was not a drought brought by time, but one deliberately done so by the ruling Congress party. He was furious that farmers were being cheated by not being provided 24-hour electricity and added that the livelihoods of the farmers were being destroyed by not providing irrigation water and Rythu Bharosa Scheme benefits. He demanded that compensation of Rs 25,000 per acre be paid for the dried cotton crop and Rs 20,000 per acre for soy and other crops.
MLA Anil Jadhav, BRS party leaders, activists and Mukhara (K) village farmers participated in the program.
Meanwhlie, KTR was felicitated by BRS leaders and fans at every step. He was welcomed and felicitated as he left his residence in Hyderabad to attend the Rythu Garjana Sabha being organized at the Diet College Ground in the district headquarters of Adilabad on Sunday. Party leaders in Medchal, Ramayampet, Kamareddy, Indalwai Tollgate, Armur and Nirmal gave a grand welcome to KTR.
