Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy on Saturday released an open letter to farmers in the State emphasising that the situation in the farm sector is not bad as being painted by the opposition parties.

They were better off now following the various initiatives taken by Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy, his role-model, like free power supply, waiver of loans, improved crop insurance scheme, pavala vaddi loans' etc, although the crops over an extent of 10 lakh hectares were damaged following five spells of heavy rains.

Mr. Reddy said opposition parties were politicising the farmers' issues instead of instilling confidence among them.
