Lok Satta Party working-president D V V S Varma on Sunday urged the state government to announce a package of assistance to cyclone-hit farmers.
Speaking to media persons during a briefing on the scheduled meeting of the party's State Working Committee, Varma stated that the farmers in the flood-hit areas need as much assistance from the state government as possible.
He stated that the primary objective of the meeting is to give shape to a united farmers' movement.
Varma said that the Working Committee meeting on November 8 will discuss the party's proposed anti-corruption campaign and review its readiness to fight the municipal elections.
Lok Satta Party president Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan has been touring the state for the last 2 weeks and interacting with farmers on their problems, Varma revealed. He added that farmers, transcending party loyalties, have welcomed Dr. Narayan's initiative in fighting for their cause.
