Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar seeks Rs 27,500 crore for farmer loan waiver

HYDERABAD: BJP state chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar wrote an open letter to chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday demanding that he fulfil the loan waiver promise made to farmers during the 2018 elections.

He also asked the CM to allocate Rs 27,500 crore and waive farm loans up to Rs 1 lakh, claiming that KCR had failed to deliver his promises made to farmers. Sanjay said the state government should withdrawaw its call to farmers to not to cultivate paddy. “The state government should release Rs 413 crore as its part of crop insurance scheme being implemented by the Centre,” he said. He said the government should immediately resolve the Dharani portal issues and distribute pattadar passbooks to farmers. “The BJP will fight to protect the interests of farmers,” he said.

Union minister of state for railways Raosaheb Dadarao Danve said the TRS government was not focused on development of the state and the fact that neither the chief minister nor any of his ministers met with him for any railway project reflected their negligence.

Speaking at a press conference in Chikodu village of Gambhiraopet mandal in Sircilla district, he said the state government lacked focus and clarity on railway projects.

“The central government is providing funds liberally to the state government for various welfare and developmental projects. But no utilisation certificates have been given so far,” he said.

He participated in the Praja Sangrama padayatra along with BJP state chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar.
