TRS MP blasts Congress over farmers’ suicides

Karimnagar MP Balka Suman says Kishan Reddy shedding crocodile tears

Hyderabad: TRS MP Balka Suman on Tuesday lashed out at the Congress for its persistent remarks against the TRS government on the issues relating to farmers, irrigation projects and other welfare and development works. Speaking to mediapersons at TRS Legislature Party office here on Tuesday, Suman warned that the State government would take stringent action against the bank officials if they mounted pressure on the farmers on crop loan repayment.

He alleged that Centre has failed to accord national status to a single project in Telangana State so far. The TRS MP accused the Congress leaders of deceiving farmers and people by failing to check the farmers’ suicides and complete the pending irrigation projects during the Congress regime.

Attributing the pathetic condition of farmers in the State to inefficient and corrupt rule of the previous government, he slammed former Union Minister S Jaipal Reddy for forgetting that he used to target then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in Bofors scandal. Suman also pointed out that the Congress rulers set aside Swaminathan Committee’s recommendations for the welfare of the farmers which threw them into gloom.

Criticising further he dared the Congress leaders to disclose the misdeeds of Komatireddy brothers, who should stop politicising everything for selfish deeds.“Our aim is to provide nine-hour free power supply to farmers during day, and the leaders should support the efforts being made by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao," he said.

Coming down heavily on Telangana BJP president G Kishan Reddy, he said the BJP leader was shedding crocodile tears on the pitiable condition of the farmers. He said the BJP president should press the Centre to accord national status to Telangana irrigation projects.
