They alleged that the Congress government had promised to pay their monthly bills in time, but since the last two months they were not receiving the amounts.

The farmers claimed that during the BRS government they used to get their bills cleared every month, but since the Congress had come to power there was a delay in payments.

The farmers warned that if the government failed to release the bill amount immediately they would stage massive protests.

In June, too, dairy farmers staged a protest at Tandra gate in Kalwakurthy mandal on the Srisailam-Hyderabad highway.
