The decisions of the Centre were like impacting the interests of the farmers of the State. Hence, it has decided to mount pressure on the Centre through agitation, he added.
Chirumarthi Lingaiah made it clear that Rythu Bandhu scheme would continue in the State until TRS was in power and not to believe the false propaganda of the opposition parties on Rythu Bandhu scheme.
