Kadapa, November 03: Telugu Desam party Chief N. Chandrababu Naidu has said that the government would come down only when farmers took to the streets on their problems. Naidu launched ‘Rythu Poru Bata’ from Chinna Mandyam on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, he demanded that the Swaminathan Committee report be immediately implemented. He also demanded that farmers be paid a compensation of Rs 1,000 per acre for the losses they sustained during Kharif season. He asserted that his party’s fight would continue till justice was done to farmers. He has charged both the Central and state governments of cheating the farmers.
