Telangana Congress MLC Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy said that the responses of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and Agriculture Minister Pocharam Srinivas Reddy to questions raised on agricultural issues were hapless.
Speaking at the Legislative Council Media Point on Thursday after adjournment of the House, Sudhakar Reddy asked the Chief Minister, who had assured farmers that he would stand by them, to tell the reason behind not waiving famer loans in a single installment.
The Chief Minister didn't speak on the problems of the farmers, who were suffering in silence, he alleged. The government failed to instill confidence among farmers, he added.
Releasing the crop loan waiver in phases was not enough even to pay the interest on the loans, the Congress leader claimed.
