Andhra’s game changer: CM Jagan’s multi-crore rollout for farmers, slams Naidu’s regime
In a potent public address, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy lambasted former CM N. Chandrababu Naidu for alleged scams linked to welfare schemes. Reddy, addressing a vast audience at Puttaparthi, didn’t hold back in his criticism, asserting that his administration remains committed to the welfare of all, especially farmers.
Unprecedented Financial Assistance to Andhra’s Farmers under YSR Rythu Bharosa Scheme
Chief Minister Reddy, during his spirited speech, highlighted the release of 2,204.77 crores under the YSR Rythu Bharosa-PM Kisan scheme. This significant financial aid targets 53.53 lakh SC, ST, BC, and minority farmers across Andhra Pradesh, marking a substantial step in supporting the agrarian community.
The Striking Difference in Governance and Aid for Farmers
Jagan Mohan Reddy underscored the disparity between his government’s actions and the previous TDP regime. Boasting a historic expenditure of 1,75,007 crore on various farmers’ welfare schemes, he emphasized the consistent aid provided over the past four years, with 33,209.81 crores disbursed under Rythu Bharosa alone, surpassing the original promises made in the YSRC election manifesto.
Reforming Agricultural Infrastructure and Power Supply for Daytime Farming
The Chief Minister went on to discuss his government’s achievements in agricultural infrastructure and power supply, contrasting it with the TDP government’s struggles. Reddy proudly noted the establishment of 10,778 Rythu Bharosa Kendras and the commitment to supplying nine-hour free power to farmers, all part of an initiative to enhance the agricultural productivity and livelihood of Andhra’s farmers.
Countering Monopolies and Enhancing Milk Procurement Prices
In a firm stance against corporate monopolies in the dairy sector, Chief Minister Reddy called out Naidu for prioritizing his own interests over those of dairy farmers. He boasted that the current government has corrected this injustice, ensuring that every farmer in Andhra Pradesh receives a fair price for their milk production.
Continued Investments in Andhra Pradesh’s Road Infrastructure
Responding to local concerns, Jagan Mohan Reddy also announced the sanctioning of 35 crores for the development of 31 roads within the constituency, showcasing his government’s broader commitment to infrastructural development.
The event, which also saw participation from Agriculture Minister K. Govardhan Reddy and other dignitaries, highlighted the AP government’s dedicated efforts to support farmers and enhance the state’s agricultural sector. As Chief Minister Reddy’s words resonate, the future of farming in Andhra Pradesh is set to embark on a path of equitable growth and prosperity.
