TDP National President and former CM N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday expressed concern over what he called the Jaganmohan Reddy Government’s failure to provide necessary facilities for farmers to sell their produce at remunerative prices in the market in this difficult time of Coronavirus epidemic.

In a statement on twitter, the TDP chief deplored that the farmers had to abandon their harvester vegetables on the road at Gollapalli village in Kadapa district due to lack of marketing facilities. It was painful that the farmers, who had toiled hard to cultivate the crop, were forced to leave the produce in the middle of the road and out of frustration.

Mr. Naidu termed it as an atrocity on the part of the Government as it had set aside all lockdown restrictions for selling liquor while, at the same time, not extending similar relaxations to enable farmers to sell their produce. It may be recalled that the Government liquor shops were reopened in green and orange zones in Andhra Pradesh after nationwide lockdown 2.0.

రైతు తన పంటను మార్కెట్లో అమ్ముకునే పరిస్థితులను ప్రభుత్వం కల్పించలేకపోతోంది. కడపజిల్లా, గొల్లపల్లి గ్రామంలో తాము కష్టపడి పండించిన కూరగాయలను రైతులు నడిరోడ్డుపైనే పారబోశారంటే ఎంత బాధాకరమైన విషయం! మద్యం అమ్మకాలకి అడ్డురాని నిబంధనలు పంట అమ్మకానికి అడ్డొస్తున్నాయా? ఏమిటీ దారుణం? pic.twitter.com/WYdoqTVVIq
