Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao had gone to China as part of attracting investments to Telangana.
One does not know whether he would really bring investments or not, but he has certainly brought rains to the State.
It may be a sheer coincidence, but the State which was experiencing prolonged drought for the last few months, has suddenly started witnessing heavy rains soon after KCR left for China.
Senior Congress leader and former MP Ponnam Prabhakar said on Friday, albeit in a lighter vein that the State was receiving good rains after the Chief Minister left for China tour.
“It is good for the Chief Minister to stay in China in the next two years”, he quipped.
Lashing out at the TRS government for failing to respond on the suicides of the farmers in the State, Ponnam alleged that the State government was not bothered about the suicides of 1,300 farmers in the State.
He asked the government as to why it reported the case of Limbaiah, who committed suicide in Hyderabad city recently, as a routine suicide.
Alleging that the farmers were committing suicides due to lack of MSP and failure of the government in waiving off their loans, Ponnam demanded that the Telangana government, which is rich, extend ex gratia to kin of farmers competing with the debt-ridden Andhra Pradesh State.
Meanwhile, Nalgonda MLA Komatireddy Venkat Reddy alleged that the Chief Minister was spending Rs 3 crore to visit China, but has no money to extend assistance to the farmers.
