The opposition parties should help the farmers in the process filing the Rythu Bheema applications, instead of making meaningless allegations, the MP remarked. With the reforms brought in by CM KCR for the farmers being successful, even the central government was starting to incline towards the same direction, Sukhender Reddy said. Farmers in the neighbouring states have staged protests in demand for the implementation of farmer welfare schemes in line with the Telangana government, he said. CM KCR announced Rs 5 lakh ex-gratia for the families of farmers who died due to thunderstorms, he added.
