Nirmal: Forest minister Allola Indrakaran Reddy said TPCC president A Revanth Reddy was insulting farmers, while Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao was transforming agriculture into a festival. He was speaking at a meeting held by farmers in protest of Revanth Reddy’s remarks against free continuous supply of power, at Swarna village in Sarangapur mandal on Thursday.
Indrakaran Reddy said the TPCC chief was ignorant of the agriculture sector and was making statements against the farmers. He stated that farmers would chase Revanth Reddy away for belittling them. He found fault with Reddy for stating that farmers need only 3 hours of electricity for agriculture needs instead of 24 hours.
