Oppn disturbing farmers with  campaign of lies, saya Tummala

Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageshwara Rao said that in the last four days opposition leaders have been engaged in social media maneuvers and disturbing farmers with their campaign of lies.
He said that seeing the growing trust of the people in the Congress and the schemes being implemented by the Congress government, the opposition is now fighting for survival.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Tummala said that BRS leaders have lost the confidence of farmers as they failed to waive loans amounting to Rs 1 lakh for even half the farmers. The BJP has never even thought of a farm loan waiver scheme in any of the states they are in power, he added.
The government waived loans amounting up to Rs 2 lakh before the first crop and as the process is going on they are spewing venom at the Congress government, he said.
It is the Congress government’s responsibility to waive farm loans according to eligibility, Tummala said.
So far the government has applied the scheme to all farmers whose family verification has been done, he said.
“We are also collecting details of farmers whose bank data is incorrect. We asked bankers to grant new loans to farmers who got loan waivers. We are also giving you loan waiver details of former governments as evidence of the performance of this government. I hope that at least the leaders of the BRS government will introspect to what extent they benefited from the half-implemented loan waiver when they were in power and behave soberly,” he said.
