Nalgonda: Tension prevailed at Tirumalagiri under Tungaturthi constituency, when Congress workers hurled stones at BRS workers, who were staging protest over the State government’s failure in crop loan waiver.
BRS workers had put a tent to stage protest and at around 11.30 a.m., all the leaders led by former MLA Gadari Kishore arrived at the protest venue. Soon Congress workers in the guise of performing Palahishekham arrived right opposite to the venue.
Workers from the parties raised slogans against each other and the situation turned tense, when Congress workers hurled stones at the BRS tent. Tempers ran high and police tried to intervene but the Congress continued their assault and damaged BRS mandal parishad leader Raghunandan Reddy’s car and the tent put by the BRS party.
Police intervened and tried to control the situation. As the workers from the parties continued their arguments, the police resorted to lathi charge.
Meanwhile, farmers staged a protest at Tahsildar and Joint Sub Registrar office in Rajanna Sircilla and demanded the government to waive their crops.
At Bikanoor in Kamareddy, BRS leaders held a protest and sang songs over the Congress government’s failure in crop loan waiver. Similarly, at Wanaparthy, former Agriculture Minister S Niranjan Reddy demanded the Congress government to waive the crop loans without any terms and conditions.

The former Minister spoke to the farmers and shared a video on X. The farmers are seen that their crop loans were waived despite all appealing to the bank officers.
