TDP to seek PM's intervention for getting relief to farmers

The Telugu Desam Party politburo has decided to write to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking his intervention to direct the state government to release adequate compensation package to the rain-hit farmers.

Senior party leader Payyavula Keshav told media persons that the politburo members were trying to get the Prime Minister’s appointment to make their representations. Mr Keshav  added that the party politburo members could not get the appointment so they have decided to write a letter to Dr Manmohan Singh.

Mr Keshav was speaking after inquiring about the condition of Mr Naidu whose hunger fast entered its second day on Saturday.

Mr Keshav revealed that the party will seek Dr Singh’s immediate intervention and directions to the state government to change the relief package announced.

The senior leader said that if the state government does not change its relief package, the people of the state will change it.

Mr Yanamala Ramakrishnudu pointed out that the government left no stone unturned to rush to the rescue of any contractor working on the ‘Jalayagnam’ project at any time of the day or night, but when farmers in the state needed its help the government was dillydallying.

Payyavula Keshav, Revanth reddy, Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, K Yerrannaidu, Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, Gali Muddukrishnama Naidu and many other Telugu Desam Party leaders spoke to media persons.
