KTR also warned that the government will have to bear the brunt of farmers' ire, if it fails to deliver on electoral promises

Rama Rao took to X to criticize Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for misleading farmers by promising a loan waiver of up to ₹2 lakh during elections but only partially implementing it, benefiting around 22 lakh farmers. "The Chief Minister falsely claimed to have fully completed the loan waiver, but the Agriculture Minister's statements have revealed his failure to fulfill that promise," Rao stated.

The MPs and MLAs of the BJP held a 24-hour protest to force the State government to fulfil the promises made to the farming community, especially the crop loan waiver scheme, at the Dharna Chowk, Indira Park on Monday.

Unrest among farmers is continuing in the State, with Thursday witnessing a crude attempt by the Congress government to quell their voices before they took their protest to the State capital.

Farmers gathered in front of the State Bank of India on Thursday, raising slogans against the government and demanding unconditional crop loan waivers. Contrary to government claims, the farmers reported that many in the mandal have yet to see their loans waived.

The protest, which sought an unconditional loan waiver, gained momentum following a viral social media post by a young farmer urging collective action from farmers across villages, mandals, and districts. Farmers' unions rallied support, calling on various social groups to join their cause amid growing concerns over rising farmer suicides due to loan pressures.
