Govt pursuing anti-farmer policies: Uttam Kumar
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Monday launched the 100-day Indiramma Rythu Bata programme. The programme is aimed at training the Congress booth-level cadre on the ongoing land records rectification drive taken up by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government.
Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Monday launched the 100-day Indiramma Rythu Bata programme. The programme is aimed at training the Congress booth-level cadre on the ongoing land records rectification drive taken up by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government.
The TPCC chief addressed booth-level workers in Karimnagar and Sangareddy. He said the TRS government has been pursuing anti-farmer policies which would destruct the entire agriculture sector. He alleged that the Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had allowed infiltration of TRS cadre in the agriculture sector through Farmers' Coordination Committees so as to keep the poor farmers under their control in next elections. He asked the Congress cadre to be extremely cautious to counter the loopholes in the ongoing land records rectification drive.
He said the Congress has a history of protecting the rights of poor farmers and working for their welfare. He said the previous Congress regimes have distributed lakhs of acres of land among poor farmers. However, he alleged that the present TRS government had been snatching away farmers' land through all means in the name of land acquisition for different projects.
He said the present TRS regime would be remembered as the ‘Dark Era’ for the agriculture sector and added that the wrong policies of Chandrashekar Rao have forced over 3,500 farmers to suicide while lakhs of farmers are yet to recover from the losses incurred due to government's negligent attitude.
He also announced that the Congress would establish Rythu Samrakshana Samithis (Farmers' Protection Committees) in all the villages across Telangana. He said these committees would have representatives of all Opposition parties, farmers' associations and genuine farmers. He said these committees would protect the rights of farmers at village level.
He accused that Chandrashekar Rao had cheated the poor by not fulfilling the electoral promises. Uttam Kumar asked the Congress workers to collect applications from the eligible persons for double bed room houses and three acres of land for Dalit families.
He said the Congress would take up those cases with the concerned authorities. The TPCC chief said the Congress would organise flag hoisting programme in all villages on November 19 to mark the centenary birth anniversary celebration of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
