Karimangar: Defeated in every elections and unable to face the strong TRS party in the State, the Congress leaders have become mad and should be admitted in the Erragadda mental hospital, said the Choppadandi MLA, S Ravi Shankar here on Saturday.

Speaking to the media persons, here in Choppadandi, MLA, S Ravi Shankar came heavily on Congress. The MLA alleged that the TPCC president Uttam Kumar Reddy along with other Congress party leaders are playing cheap politics and are trying to divert the attention of the innocent people.

They are confused on what issue they should fight as everything is going fine in the State under the leadership of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao. That is why they are targeting CM KCR unnecessarily.

MLA S Ravi Shankar said that in the united Andhra Pradesh when only 15 lakh metric tonnes of food grain was produced, after the formation of Telangana with half way stage of Kaleshwaram project around 1 crore metric tonnes of food grain is produced in the State.

Apart from that within five days the produce is sold, money is deposited into the bank account of farmers. Moreover, about Rs.7,000 crore was sanctioned for Rythu Bandhu and Rs1,300 crore farm loans were waived, why Uttam Kumar Reddy and his company are unable to see this progress. Are they turned blind, he questioned.

What Congress party did to the welfare of farmers during their 70 years of rule. They did not even grant input subsidy to them. Many farmers faced a lot of hardships during their reign. Farmers will never forget how they were treated in the Congress government and are not going to listen to false words uttered by the Congress leaders, he added.

MLA S Ravi Shankar alleged that farmers came on to the road for fertilizers during the reign of Congress party, they even waited for days together for lorries to load their produce and sell them and faced difficulties to sell the same and many farmers even committed suicide during the Congress rule.
