YSR Congress Party President Jagan Mohan Reddy concluded his 'Rythu Deeksha' - the 48 hour hunger strike that he took up at Nallapadu today. Speaking to the farmers who attended the deeksha, Jagan said that he is hoping that the Central and State Governments will at least now realize the plight of the farmers.
Speaking on the occasion, Jagan said that the state will be happy only when the farmers are happy. He said that during the time of former Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, the minimum support price for paddy has been increased to Rs. 1000 from a mere Rs. 530. He said that the state has seen 6% development in the agriculture during the time of YSR as Chief Minister.
Expressing anguish that the farmers are neglected after the demise of YSR, he heavy charged the government for not continuing the programs initiated by the then Chief Minister. He questioned the Government on why it is not bothered about buying grains from the FCI. He called on the people to join him to recreate the 'YSR Swarna Yugam'.
Jagan also criticized the attitude of Telugu Desam Party President N Chandrababu Naidu. He ridiculed that Naidu realized about the farmers problems only after he announced his agitation. He said that Chandrababu Naidu paid the price for neglecting farmers during his time as Chief Minister.
