Ponaala criticizes Chandrababu

The visit of  Telugu  Desam Party chief Chandrababu  Naidu  to the  districts  of  Prakasam and  Nalogonda  to find  out  the   woes of  farmers  in those  districts  is  a big  farce.  He  did not end  there,  he even  met  the  Chief  Minister  K Rosaiah  and Prime Minister  Manmohan  Singh  and appraised them of the woes of farmers  in the  state to   gain their  support in the state.

``The  gimmicks  will not have  any impact  on the farmers,’’  said  Ponnala Lakshmaiah, Minister for Major Irrigation.

Commenting  on  the TDP chief’s  visit to  Delhi, Lakshmaiah said `` the former chief minister, who once described agriculture as a sheer waste, is  now shedding crocodile tears and running from pillar to post on  to highlight  the farmers’ issues only  with a selfish motive to gain political mileage.’’
