"brs"

Addressing a press conference on Monday, Reddy said the farmers in the State were suffering due to the inefficiency of the State government.

The irony is all the more visible when it turns out that in some constituencies, both the Congress and BJP candidates are former BRS leaders.

The public in the constituency were detesting Congress for buying their MLA less than 24 hours after the party in its manifesto promised to ban political defections.

He criticised the Congress party's history of unfulfilled promises, particularly its failure to implement its six guarantees by December 9.

BRS leaders were being harassed in Karimnagar with illegal cases based on the instructions of Revanth Reddy.

Kavitha’s advocate Nitesh Rana told the court that the CBI thwarted the due process by filing a plea seeking permission to question her “behind her back”.

The minister's press conference was to rebut the statement of BRS Chief K Chandrashekara Rao who said the details of 209 farmers, who died by suicide, were submitted to the Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari.

Sharing the concern voiced by the farmers, BRS working President K T Rama Rao said the party would continue to fight for the cause of the farmers.

He was speaking at a protest staged by the party at the Roads and Building department's guest house here on Saturday.

BRS Working President KT Rama Rao accused the Congress of preaching one thing while doing the exact opposite by welcoming BRS MLAs into their party while allowing them to retain their posts.

Khammam MP Nama Nageswara Rao, Rajya Sabha member Vaddiraju Ravichandra and ex-MLA Sandra Venkata Veeraiah and others took in the deeksha held in Kallur as support for the farmer.

The government did not clear dues of Rs 351.52 crore pertaining to Bathukamma saree orders to TESCO.

Drawing attention to the Assembly election promises, the BRS leader recalled similar instances where the Congress did not implement its promises post victory.

Stating that it was not possible for the Congress government to protect the interests of farmers by supplying water to standing crops, he said the BRS would fight on behalf of the farming community.

He addressed party workers at preparatory meetings for the parliamentary elections held at Aswaraopet and at Kothagudem in the district on Thursday.

Chandrashekhar Rao, who will arrive at Karimnagar town at 10 am, will inspect damaged crops in Mugdumpur of Karimnagar rural mandal and interact with farmers.

Chandrashekhar Rao's assertive stance during his recent visit to Nalgonda, Suryapet and Jangaon districts caused a stir within the ruling party, prompting heated exchanges over responsibility for the crisis.

The State government had denied release of water to standing crops on the pretext that there was no water in irrigation projects.

Former Minister and Siddipet MLA T Harish Rao also extended his heartfelt condolences over demise of workers in the fire mishap.

He said that if he wins for the third time he would work for Khammam development and stand by the BRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao in these difficult times.
