Congress Legislature Party leader Bhatti Vikramarka alleged that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao were shying away from responding to grievances of farmers affected by Dharani system and trying to paint a rosy picture when the ground reality was totally different.
Mr. Bhatti who is on a ‘People’s March’ spoke to the media at Gannerlapalli in Chandampeta Mandal in Devarakonda constituency and said he had been raising about the injustice meted out to farmers who had been cultivating their lands for generations but lost their rights overnight due to the Dharani system.
He said the government removed the tenants column in the portal thus making them ineligible for any support from the government. “The CM without responding to the issues raised under Dharani, remarked arrogantly in a public meeting he addressed at Nagarkurnool that ‘some fool had demanded that Dharani system’ be abolished. If we both call each other fools, people’s grievances pertaining to Dharani will be side tracked. I want people’s grievances to be addressed,” he said.
