VIJAYAWADA: Agriculture minister Kakani Govardhana Reddy slammed the Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan for touring East Godavari district to interact with the rain-affected farmers by saying that it would yield no result as their government was committed to providing all help to the farmers.
In a sharp reaction to the Jana Sena chief’s visit, the minister told media persons in Rajamahendravaram on Wednesday that by visiting the rain-hit farmers and inquiring about the damage or loss to the crops, they would not cast their votes for the Jana Sena. He took a dig at Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan, TD chief N. Chandrababu Naidu, and his son Lokesh for visiting the rain-hit farmers and trying to console them as they were not even having the basic knowledge of identification of the crops, even a minimum of five out of 10 shown to them.
He described the tour of the three leaders to visit the rain-hit fields and console the farmers in order to absolve themselves from their sins, and he flayed them for trying to influence the farmers. However, the minister said that though the three leaders were trying to influence the farmers to get their support by touring the rain-hit areas like ‘Teertha Yatra’, they could not get the farmers’ support.
