Following a call given by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) for protests across Telangana against the alleged ‘anti-farmer’ policies of the Government, the party held protests in all districts demanding procurement of paddy and payment of ₹500 bonus per quintal.
Claiming that the Congress government went back on its assurance made before the polls, the BRS cadre took to the streets in all the districts and constituencies, led by the party leaders. They sat on the roads and raised slogans against the Government.
In Karimnagar, the protest was led by MLC Gangula Kamalakar while former MLA Dasari Manohar Reddy and Korukanti Chander participated in Peddapalli and Godavarikhani respectively. Similar protests were organised across all the constituencies in the State. Later, they submitted a memorandum to the officials.
