Jagan asks YSRCP leaders to extend help to rain-hit farmers in AP

Vijayawada, May 5 (UNI) Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has asked his party leaders to visit and support farmers who had suffered heavy losses due to unseasonal rains and strong winds across the state.

He emphasised that the party must stand by farmers during these difficult times and put pressure on the government to provide immediate relief.
Speaking over the phone with regional coordinators and key leaders of the party, Reddy expressed deep concern over the damage caused to both paddy and horticultural crops.

He pointed out that despite advance weather warnings, authorities failed to move harvested paddy from fields and procurement centers to safer locations, resulting in major crop loss.
The YSRCP president criticized the government machinery for its inaction and negligence.

The former Chief Minister noted that farmers who had already suffered during the Kharif season due to lack of minimum support prices are now facing even more hardship in the current Rabi season. He said that in many areas including the Godavari districts, paddy procurement was poorly handled, leading to additional distress for farmers and now worsened by the sudden rains.

Jagan told the YSRCP leaders to tour affected villages, extend moral support to the farmers, and gather details of the damage. He also urged them to build pressure on the state government to provide compensation and take immediate steps to help the farming community recover.
