Senior BRS leader and former minister T. Harish Rao accepted the challenge thrown by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and offered to quit as an MLA and not to contest the byelection if the latter implemented ₹2 lakh farm loan waiver in full and the other guarantees by August 15.
Speaking in Sangareddy, after participating in the nomination paper filing by party candidate from Zaheerabad Parliamentary constituency Gali Anil Kumar on Wednesday, he sought to know whether Mr. Reddy would quit as the Chief Minister if he failed to implement the farm loan waiver and all the six guarantees by the time specified by him.
He offered to come to the Martyrs’ Memorial in front of the Assembly on Friday and also asked the Chief Minister to come there for a debate on the issue.
