"Rythu Bandhu rule is gone Robbers' rule has come! To understand the plight of farmers suffering because the Congress government is not procuring their harvested crops, on November 18 last year, I went to the Adilabad Market Yard along with local BRS leaders. The day before that, Tudum Ganapati from Arli(B) village in Adilabad district had tearfully shared his troubles with the media, going as far as shedding tears. He had been staying at the market yard for four days, expressing his anguish that no one was buying his soybean crop," the BRS leader said.

"If the Congress government continues to harass by not procuring the crop like this, he wept, saying he had no option left but death. Not loan waiver, no farmer assurance, the burden of debts intensified, and three days ago, Ganapati took his own life. This is not a suicide. It is, unequivocally, a murder committed by the Revanth government!," he added.

The remarks come after Revanth Reddy visited Siddipet district to participate in a series of programmes focused on agriculture and development.

During the visit, the Chief Minister is scheduled to attend the "Rythu Utsavalu" (Farmers' Festival) at Narmetta in Nangunuru mandal. He will also inaugurate the TG Oil Palm Factory and lay the foundation stone for a refinery project.

In addition, foundation stones for multiple development works in Siddipet and Gajwel constituencies will be laid. The Chief Minister is also expected to address a public meeting, where he will release funds under the "Rythu Bharosa" scheme aimed at supporting farmers. (ANI)
