“The Andhra Pradesh government is not procuring paddy at the prescribed Minimum Support Price (MSP). It has completely neglected the drip irrigation scheme in the state. The promise made by the chief minister to the agriculture sector is limited to rhetoric,” Chahar said while addressing the state executive meeting of Kisan Morcha here on Sunday.

Mr Chahar said that the Congress-led UPA government at the Center could not implement the recommendations of the Swaminathan Committee. “The BJP-led NDA government has helped increase the income of farmers through a multi-pronged approach to the issues faced by farmers. The focus is on taking R&D results from laboratories to farms.

“A grand Ram temple is being built in Ayodhya to fulfill the wishes of Hindus across the world. Overall, India has become a global power under the leadership of Mr. Modi. No stone should be left unturned in telling people what is the good that BJP has done.
BJP Andhra Pradesh unit president Somu Veeraraju said both the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) governments have betrayed the farmers by reneging on their commitments.
