WARANGAL: Former Minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao, along with several former MLAs and other leaders, visited the Enumamula Agricultural Market in Warangal to assess the concerns of chilli farmers. During the visit, he engaged with farmers and inquired about their grievances.
Speaking at the gathering, Errabelli Dayakar Rao criticized both the BJP-led central government and the Congress government in Telangana, alleging that they had come to power by making false promises. He urged Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to stop misleading people and address farmers’ issues seriously.
He pointed out that the Congress government had failed to implement Rythu Bandhu and complete farm loan waivers, leaving farmers distressed.
