TJAC Chairman Prof M.Kodandaram appealed to the farmers to unite to force the government to change its policies in their favor.
Political parties and governments will not respect farmers unless they unite and form their associations, he said.
Prof Kodandaram demanded that state and Central governments should declare the Adilabad and Khammam drought affected and give all mandatory benefits to the people.
Participating in interaction with farmers and villagers at Tejapur village in Boath mandal as part of Karuvu Adhyayana yatra, Prof Kodandaram said farmers will make any impact on political parties and governments only when they are organized and emerge as a strong force.
He said political parties listen to farmer’s woes and demands only when political parties consider them as a significant vote bank, and this was possible if farmers unite.
Prof Kodandaram questioned the farmers why not they form Rythu JACs when their women had formed SHGs and were making efforts for their empowerment bargaining with the state government.
Kodandaram made it clear that nothing concrete came out of discussions concerning farmers and Agriculture crisis and drought held in Assembly sessions, and they were waiting for the government’s decision on the steps to be taken for the welfare of the farmers on the directions of High Court.
He said farmers should tell the ill effects of the drought they have been experiencing to state and central governments because the governments declared that there was no drought in Adilabad and Khammam districts in the Telangana.
