Speaking on the occasion, CM Jagan reminded that if the farmer is good, the state will be good and YSR is credited with changing the face of the state with Jalayagnam. "We are a pro-farmer government and have spent Rs 8,670 crore on farmers in two years," Jagan said.

"We are giving Rs 13,500 per annum to farmers under Rythu Bharosa and spent Rs 17,029 crore in two years," he said. YS Jagan said the government is providing quality seeds and fertilizers through farmers through RBKs and doing e-cropping for every crop.
