BJP demands early assessment of crop damages

Telangana BJP president G Kishan Reddy on Thursday urged the State Government to hasten the preparation of report on the damages caused due to unseasonal rains in the last few days across Telangana State.

Speaking to media persons here, Kishan Reddy said that the State Government should constitute an Expert Committee to assess the damage and fix compensation to be paid to the farmers who suffered losses. He said a report on the damages should also be sent to the Central Government at the earliest. He claimed that the BJP Government at the Centre was ready to help the Telangana Government and the Union Ministers, who visited the affected areas on Wednesday, would coordinate with the Centre for the same.

Commenting on the Mission Kakatiya project, Kishan Reddy alleged that the scheme was being misused to benefit the TRS workers. He said that the State Government was implementing such a huge project without taking any advise from the experts. Instead, he alleged that contractors were involved in the project and they have been flouting norms to benefit the TRS party workers.
