Nizamabad: While the Congress party was holding ‘padayatras’ with a political motive unable to digest the progress achieved by the TRS government, said Agriculture Minister Pocharam Srinivas Reddy here on Tuesday. He said that the TRS government would launch Vijay yatras.
Speaking to the media, Reddy strongly criticised the previous Telugu Desam and Congress governments for failing to go to the rescue of farmers and prevent their suicides. He pledged to provide irrigation facilities to one crore acres during the next five years. He singled out the Congress party for resorting to cheap politics in the name of padayatras, after failing to do anything worthwhile during its regime.
The Minister posed a question to the Congress leaders as to why their government failed to take action on the recommendations of the Assembly Committee on Nizam Sugar Factory. He asserted that the government was ready to reopen NSF if local sugarcane farmers came forward to run it.
He said five cases under the Preventiive Detention Act have been registered against chilly seed companies and licences of 109 sub-dealers cancelled. While asserting that the TRS government was committed to farmers’ welfare, the Minister expressed anguish over the Opposition parties for trying to create an unnecessary row.
He claimed that these parties were resorting to criticism of the State government as they were unable to digest the progress achieved by Telangana.
The erstwhile Telangana region, Reddy pointed out, had remained backward and the lot of farmers did not improve despite change of Chief Ministers under the Congress regime. “These Governments spent crores of Rupees in the name of projects and canals without any result,” he added.
