Avinash alleged that while the government announced an MSP, it was never enforced, allowing middlemen to exploit farmers. He said many farmers were abandoning their crops due to heavy losses. Criticizing Pawan Kalyan, Avinash remarked, “How would someone living in Hyderabad know the condition of Andhra Pradesh’s roads?”

He also accused the government of misusing police machinery to harass YSRCP leaders and stifle opposition activities. District president Ravindranath Reddy added that officials were neglecting farmers, warning that continued apathy could drive many to suicide.

In Kurnool district’s Gonegandla mandal, many farmers cultivated onions with hope of good profits. They invested nearly ₹70,000 per acre, expecting a yield of about 25 quintals. But when they took their produce to the market, buyers offered only around ₹500 per quintal. Farmers say even after selling the full crop, they cannot recover even ₹20,000 per acre.

Adding to their woes, onions spoil quickly and require regular grading. Traders buy only after proper sorting, which demands extra labor charges. Without sales, farmers are forced to throw away 5–10 quintals daily due to rotting. They also spend more money on daily expenses while waiting at the markets for buyers.

For the past few days, there have been no major purchases. Farmers like Srinivasulu, Gopal, and Sunkanna expressed deep distress over mounting debts. They urged the state government to immediately step in, ensure fair prices, and start onion procurement. Without support, they fear they will sink deeper into financial crisis.
