Cong holds candle rally for farmers
Description
Hyderabad: Telangana Congress workers on Saturday paid homage to farmers who lost their lives during the agitation against the three contentious farm laws by taking out a candlelight rally on Necklace Road. The Congress members raised slogans against BJP and TRS alleging that both the governments were equally responsible for the deaths of farmers. “How can the ruling TRS claim that the farm laws were repealed after chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao sat on a dharna. If CM KCR was so influential, he should ensure that the centre steps down from its stand and agrees to procure paddy from Telangana,” he said. Stating that KCR’s outburst against PM Modi is nothing but drama, TPCC president A Revanth Reddy said that if KCR was sincere about his demand, he should have ensured that a resolution was passed against the three farm laws in the state assembly. The TPCC chief demanded that the state government purchase entire Vanakalam paddy in line with KCR’s promise.
