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.
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.
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.
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.
