CLP demands Assy session on farmers issue

Hyderabad, Jul 16 (UNI) The Congress Legislature Party today demanded that the Telangana Government convene the Assembly and Council session to discuss the issues pertaining to farmers and the land acquisition process.
Talking to mediapersons here, Leader of Opposition in Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir, Deputy CLP leaders T Jeevan Reddy (Assembly) and Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy (Council) accused the TRS Government of completely neglecting the farmers in the State.
"Despite the fact that farmers have lost four consecutive crops since 2014, TRS Government has failed to take any measures to ensure that they recover from their losses in ongoing Khariff season. Farmers were not given total relief by waiving off total dues under Rs one lakh crore loan waiver scheme. As against the dues of nearly Rs 8,500 crore the State Government cleared only Rs 2020 crore. Consequently, banks are refusing to sanction fresh loans to farmers," Shabbir Ali said.
There is no row at position 0.
