Only 19 lakh farmers got crop insurance in AP, says Jagan Mohan Reddy

YSRCP supremo YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday alleged that only 19 lakh farmers were given crop insurance in Andhra Pradesh, which faced 17 natural calamities during the present NDA coalition government.

Addressing a press conference at YSRCP central office in Tadepalli, Jagan alleged that the Chief Minister N Chandrababu



Naidu-led coalition government ignored farmers’ welfare and failed to provide timely assistance during disasters.

“In the 19 months of NDA coalition rule, Andhra Pradesh faced 17 natural calamities. Only 19 lakh farmers out of 84 lakh received crop insurance. The state government failed to support those in urgent need,” he said.
