Attacking Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s government, he said the KCR government is not implementing a comprehensive crop insurance scheme, leading to a miserable state of affairs and huge loss to farmers to the tune of lakhs of crores of rupees.
He charged that farmers were backstabbed and cheated in the name of farm loan waiver by the KCR government.
He appealed to people to teach KCR a lesson in the forthcoming Assembly elections.
