Sharmila alleges five major frauds by Andhra govt against farmers

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president YS Sharmila on Tuesday alleged that the NDA coalition government committed five major “frauds” against farmers instead of delivering welfare.

She criticised the government’s approach to the agriculture sector over the past 17 months, accusing it of abandoning the farming sector and pushing cultivators into deep financial distress.

“Not five formulas for cultivation, but five frauds-Chandrababu’s so-called five-formula welfare is completely bogus. For 17 months, they have abandoned agriculture to



the winds,” said Sharmila in a post on ‘X’.

According to the Andhra Pradesh government, the five-point formula is water security, demand-based cultivation, agri-tech, food processing and government support for farmers.

Sharmila alleged that the Andhra government’s claims of a “five-formula plan for farmers’ welfare” were nothing but a publicity-driven rhetoric.

She accused the government of failing to respond to agricultural losses arising from natural disasters and ignoring farmers’ urgent appeals for relief.
