State Agriculture Minister, Mr. K. Lakshminarayana told that he would convene a meeting of the officials of the Department of Agriculture to resolve the long pending issues.
He was addressing the employees of Secretariat on the occasion of the release of the diary of the Department for the year 2013. He pointed out that the Department of Agriculture has staff more than the staff of any other department. It is, therefore, necessary for the staff of the Department of Agriculture to offer their services to agriculturists to ensure better crops. He told that farmers are getting free current supply. This facility is not available in any other state.
Criticizing Mr. Chandrababu Naidu he said that Mr. Naidu is now remembering the farmers. He is once again trying to make false promises to muster their support for TDP. During his tenure of office, Mr. Naidu had declared agriculture as a useless profession. After assuming power, Congress made it a useful profession.
The fact is that progress is not possible with regional parties. It is possible only by national level parties.
If the Association of Agri-Doctors, makes an attempt in collaboration with the staff of the Department of Agriculture, it is possible to implement many schemes successfully.
