Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao has asked the party activists to widely spread the Congress leaders’ distressing view against 24×7 free power supply to agriculture.
In a teleconference held with the party activists on Saturday, he drew their attention to the statements of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy and other leaders that a mere 3-hour power supply was sufficient for 95% of the farmers and that free supply was not needed. He told them to rake up discussions in villages so that the anti-farmer view of the Congress was made known to people.
Mr. Rama Rao asked the party activists to hold farmers’ meetings for 10 days starting from July 17. Such meetings could be held mostly in the 2,601 Rythu Vedikas constructed across the State, and they should ensure the attendance of at least 1,000 farmers for each meeting.
