The Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) president Chiranjeevi on Tuesday demanded the State Government to pay Rs 3,000 as compensation to the groundnut farmers who lost the crop due to poor quality of the seeds.
He made this demand at Kalluru village while continuing the third day of his third leg of Praja Ankita Yatra.
He toured groundnut crop rich areas of Garladinne, Pamidi, Kalluru, Rayalacheruvu, Yadiki, Bhogasamudram and Tadipatry today. He blamed the Government for the failure of the groundnut crop in the region. Groundnut is being cultivated in about 18 lakh acres in this district, the PRP president said adding that it is the main stay of the farmers of this area.
He expressed anguish over the woes of groundnut farmers and said that they were unable to get even 2 quintals of yield from one acre where they are supposed to get at least 10 quintals.
Even the price in the market is meagre, fetching them not more than Rs 1,000 per quintal, the PRP president said.
While addressing the gathering at Pamidi, Chiranjeevi regretted the problems being experienced by the business people of the village.
The star-turned-politician said Pamidi village which is known as second Mumbai for its production and export of quality textiles, those engaged in the business are not supported by the Government in any way.
Speaking at Garladinne, the megastar expressed shock over the death of two people at Dhrmavaram yesterday in his road show. He conveyed his condolences to the families of Tajuddin and Adinarayana who died in the stampede and promised that the party would take care of the bereaved families. He urged his fans to control themselves to ward of untoward incidents.
While stating that his aim is to bring social justice, the PRP chief said that the Boya community people of Anantapuram would get fair deal in his party. He received a memorandum submitted by the representatives of the community.
At Gooty he recalled the valor of one Appanna, a railway gateman who chased away the British soldiers who tried to molest a woman in 1930s. He urged the people to take him as an example and fight out the present political and administrative systems. He told the youth that they have the power to change the fate of the nation.
At the lunch break Chiranjeevi christened two new-born kids as Rutwik and Ramcharan Tej. The parents of the new born who belong to Gosanpally village near Rayala Cheruvu brought them to Chiranjeevi for his blessings and requesting him to name the newly born.
