‘Govt. released input subsidy, Rythu Bharosa instalment’
Jana Sena Party general secretary T. Siva Sankar has alleged that YSR Congress Party government was duping people by claiming that farmers hit by Cyclone Nivar have been paid compensation on December 29. Referring to the full page advertisements issued by the government on December 29, he alleged that the State government has not released any funds towards the Nivar-affected farmers.
Addressing a media conference here on Wednesday, Mr. Siva Sankar said that the government only released input subsidy and instalment of ‘Rythu Bharosa – PM Kisan’, which was due to them.
He alleged that G.O. RT. Nos 127 and 128 were issued in a hurry after JSP president Pawan Kalyan visited the cyclone-affected farmers in the first week of December. These G.O.s are for input subsidy and Rythu Bharosa and not a compensation for Nivar-affected farmers, he said.
