YSRCP’s ‘Annadataku Andaga YSRCP’ campaign tomorrow

Malladi Vishnu, former MLA and YSRCP Central constituency coordinator, has announced a Statewide campaign, ‘Annadataku Andaga YSRCP’ (YSRCP to Support Farmers), on December 13 to highlight the failures of the coalition government in addressing farmers’ issues. Speaking at an event in Vijayawada on Wednesday, Vishnu unveiled the campaign’s wall posters.
Vishnu criticised the current government, accusing it of deceiving all sections of society, particularly farmers. He claimed that promises made before the elections had not been fulfilled. “Before the elections, they promised Rs 20,000 assistance to farmers, but failed to deliver even a rupee. Such negligence towards farmers cannot be ignored,” he said, adding that the government had allocated Rs 10,700 crore for farmers in the budget, but did not release any funds.
Under the previous YSRCP administration, farmers had benefited from welfare schemes like YSR Rythu Bharosa and free crop insurance, Vishnu stated. “The YSRCP has promised to increase farmers’ support from Rs 12,500 to Rs 13,500. In contrast, the coalition government has completely neglected its promise of Rs 20,000 support, leaving farmers in despair,” he alleged.
Vishnu highlighted the YSRCP’s achievements during its tenure, including the procurement of 3.53 crore tonnes of grain worth Rs 67,906 crore between 2019 and 2024, compared to 2.65 crore tonnes worth Rs 40,237 crore procured during the TDP government’s tenure from 2014 to 2019. He also mentioned the direct disbursement of Rs 7,802 crore in crop insurance compensation to 54.55 lakh farmers during YSRCP’s rule, along with the payment of Rs 3,022 crore in insurance premiums on behalf of farmers.
As part of the ‘Annadataku Andaga YSRCP’ campaign, the YSRCP will submit petitions to district collectors on December 13, drawing attention to the farmers’ grievances.
Vishnu called for public participation in the rally, scheduled to begin at 9 AM from the old party office on Besant Road, Vijayawada, and culminate at the District Collectorate.
