TRS facing farmers’ ire due to power cut: BJP

TRS is on the brink and it is amply evident in the manner in which farmers are protesting at the procurement centres and on the unannounced power cut across Telangana, said top BJP leaders on Friday.

“Farmers are protesting blocking the highways and at the power utilities offices against the government for its tardy facilities in procurement and unscheduled power outages,” said National OBC president K. Laxman, ex-MLA NVVS Prabhakar and others at a press conferance.

Criticising the ‘open letter’ written by the TRS leaders on the ‘Praja Sangrama Yatra’ of party president Bandi Sanjay Kumar, they said the walkathon is meant to stand by the common people at a time when they are under “severe economic stress” due to high taxes, power tariff, RTC fares and others.
