TDP dubs Rythu Bharosa Kendras as bogus

Yemmiganur: Terming the Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBKs) as total bogus, TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh on Friday said that not even a single farmer in the State has received any kind of benefit from these centres.

During a close interaction with farmers at Machapuram of Yemmiganur Assembly segment as part of Yuva Galam padayatra, he said that the farming community was the worst-hit during the YSRCP rule.

Calling Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, as a ‘holiday CM’ as he declared a crop holiday, power holiday and aqua holiday, Lokesh said that the State Cabinet never reviewed the issues being faced by the farmers.

The Chief Minister promised Rs10 lakh each for the families of those farmers who resort to suicides but till now he has not come to the rescue of a single family, he alleged and declared Rs1 lakh as financial assistance to the family members of Rangamma, a Dalit farmer, and said that soon after the party is back in power Rs10 lakh ex gratia will be paid to the family.
