The state government is committed to resolve the problems of farmers, and the Kiran Kumar Reddy government is a pro-farmer dispensation, said Minister for Law & Courts Erasu Prathap Reddy, in Hyderabad on Monday.
"The Chief Minister has announced interest-free loans as part of the bail-out package to help the farmers in distress," he said, while talking to media persons at the Congress Legislature Party Office.
Besides rescheduling loans to farmers in the drought-affected areas, the state has also provided loans to farmers to purchase farm machinery at a 50% subsidy, he said.
He slammed the Opposition for looking at fluctuating prices of farm produce through a "magnifying glass" in order to get political mileage.
Dubbing the Opposition's charges as baseless, he said that these parties ought to act in a "responsible" manner before levelling baseless charges against the government.
Warangal Congress MLA Gandra Venkataramana Reddy was also present at the press meet. (INN)
