The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Friday sought the Telangana Governor’s intervention to address the problems faced by farmers.
Blaming the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Government for the suicides of farmers, the TDP sought immediate steps to help the distressed farmers.
A delegation of TDP leaders led by l Ramana met Governor ESl Narasimhan here on Friday and submitted a memorandum.
Ramana, who is heading the TDP in Telangana, said the Government’s failure to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply to farmers is leading to their suicides.
The delegation demanded that the Government pay Rs10 lakh compensation each to the families of farmers who committed suicides.
The Opposition party also sought Rs30,000 as compensation for every acre of crop lost due to lack of electricity supply.
The TDP delegation which included senior leaders E. Dayakar Rao and R. Chandrasekhar Reddy brought to the governor’s notice the attacks by TRS members on TDP leaders and the party office in Nalgonda.
