Amaravati: Asserting that the state government is committed for the welfare and development of farmers, YSRCP Agriculture Wing President and Agri Mission Vice-Chairman MVS Nagi Reddy said people won't believe the provoking statements of Opposition Chief Chandrababu Naidu and Janasena Chief Pawan Kalyan, who were politically rejected, in regard to crop holiday in Konaseema region.

Speaking to the media at the party central office here on Saturday, the Agri Mission Vice Chairman slammed Opposition parties for conspiring against the state government in the name of crop holiday in Konaseema region for their vested interests and said the Chief Minister is a committed leader who has fulfilled 96 percent of poll promises.

He assured that the Agriculture Mission would take any issue of Konaseema farmers to the notice of the Chief Minister and resolve them.

He listed out the promises made by Naidu before coming to power and said he has cheated the farmers without fulfilling them.
