Sangareddy: Former AICC Chief and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi criticized that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and Agriculture Minister N Niranjan Reddy don’t know the problems being faced by the farmers in the State.

Rahul in his address in a public meeting said that KCR knows how to grab the land of farmers in the name of Dharani portal rather than caring about their woes. He started his Bharat Jodo Yatra from Chautkur to Peddapur in the Andole constituency on Saturday.

Rahul said that a farmer, named Nagireddy, had explained to him during his yatra the difficulties they were facing and the steps to be taken to solve them. If the Chief Minister had the understanding of what the farmers like Nagireddy were going through, he would have come up with some idea to solve them.

The condition of farmers, workers, students and employees is not good not only in Telangana but across the country. After 2014, unemployment and poverty have increased manifold. While the country is going through such a gloomy period, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao are working for their own self-interests, he alleged.

He said that he is organizing Bharat Jodo Yatra to highlight Modi’s policies favoring his friends, ills of privatization of public sector undertakings, poverty, and unemployment. He blamed demonetization and irrational GST for the collapse of small businesses and the resultant joblessness.

TPCC president A Revanth Reddy, and Congress MP Uttam Kumar Reddy, were also present.
