Government should clear all crop lones: Parthasarathi

Hyderabad, Jan 28: Reiterating that TDP government has been pursuing its anti-farmer and mercantile agenda, YSR Congress has said the notification of zones in and around the capital area mirrors the policy of the State.

‘The notification on demarcating agri zones indiscriminately leaving away multi-crop areas only shows that the government wants to create a boom in the capital region which it plans to give it to Singapore companies and Chandrababu Naidu’s coterie for development,’ party spokesperson K Parthasarathi told reporters here on Thursday.

The notification dividing the Krishna and Guntur into zones makes it clear that Krishna district is getting a raw deal as no construction can come up for 35 years in 15 lakh acres which are mostly upland areas while fertile lands are given away to foreign companies on a platter and there is no justification, he said. The zonal system would put heavy concentration in one area giving way to regional disparities.

Chandrababu Naidu has been stating that all agricultural loans were waived though the latest Bankers’ Report show that farm loans work out to Rs 91,415 crores. We demand that the government clear all the loans and release water for the Rabi crop and clear the due to paddy farmers which run into Rs 2,000 crores.
