The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee on Tuesday held the State government responsible for the crisis in agrarian sector which has seen scores of farmers committing suicide in the recent months.

The party also blamed the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) for failing to implement its promises made in the election manifesto which has deprived farmers of the crop loan waiver benefits.

The TPCC organised a maha dharna at Kotapally mandal head quarter village which is part of the Chennur (SC) Assembly constituency. The protest programme to highlight the problems faced by the farming community was attended by District Congress Committee president C. Ramchander Reddy, MP Gutta Sukhender Reddy and former Union Minister of State Balram Naik, former Minister G. Vinod, former MPs G. Vivekanand and Ponnam Prabhakar, former MLAs A. Maheshwar Reddy and Atram Sakku and TPCC secretary Naresh Jadhav.

On the power sector, the leaders accused Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao of not spending enough to purchase power to tide over the crisis.

“Our government had spent Rs. 3,000 crore to purchase power mainly for the farming sector but the present government has not even spent Rs. 600 crore towards this,” the leaders pointed out.

The integrated household survey also came in for criticism from the opposition party leaders who said it was a wasted exercise.

The TPCC handed over cheques worth Rs. 25,000 each to families of 20 farmers who had committed suicide in recent months.
