Jagga slams celebs over farmer talk
Description
Hyderabad: Congress MLA T Jayaprakash Reddy on Friday found fault with celebrities, including film stars and cricketers, for speaking against the agitating farmers. “Ploughing the land, irrigating it, raising a crop and harvesting it is not as easy as delivering a dialogue and shaking legs to dance in front of the camera or wielding a willow in a cricket match,” said Jayaprakash Reddy. Stating that farmers have been braving the winter chill and trying to impress upon the government to repeal the new farm laws for two months, the Congress legislator sought to advise the celebrities making statements in support of Narendra Modi-government and against the farmers. He said, “No matter how many accolades you earn in your respective professions, you will have to survive by eating agriculture products cultivated by farmers.”
