BJP demands central team report on drought compensation for farmers

Speaking after meeting the central drought study team with a BJP delegation, Opposition Leader R. Ashoka stated that the state government is wasting time in political disputes while over 50% of the state's area has suffered crop damage and water scarcity. He urged the central team to observe the actual situation and report on the matter, requesting that steps be taken for higher drought compensation. R. Ashoka also criticized the government for failing to provide the promised ₹25,000 per acre compensation and the ₹2,500 compensation per family, as well as the ₹1 crore allocation per taluk.
