Waive all crop loans in one go: Errabelli
Waive all crop loans in one go: Errabelli. Telugu Desam floor leader in the Assembly Errabelli Dayakar Rao demanded the State government to waive crop loans at one go and create market fund to help prevent farmer suicides.
Urges State government to encourage agriculture by linking it with Employment Guarantee Scheme
Hyderabad: Telugu Desam floor leader in the Assembly Errabelli Dayakar Rao demanded the State government to waive crop loans at one go and create market fund to help prevent farmer suicides.
Participating in the debate on farmer suicides in the Assembly on Wednesday, the Telangana TDP floor leader tried to put the ruling party in a fix for its failure to check the suicides and how he was thrown behind bars following Palakurthi stone-pelting incident.
He asked the government to encourage agriculture by linking it with employment guarantee scheme and enable the farmers to get financial assistance. Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, though expressed concern over the issue, was yet to take proactive steps to end the menace, he said.
He felt that trivial mistakes on the part of the government were driving the distressed farmers towards suicides. He also flayed the government for reducing seed subsidy from 50 per cent to 33 per cent. Delay of loan waiver would compound the problems and suicides will go on, Dayakar Rao opined.
