Four teams to submit report to TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy
Four teams of the Congress will tour Telangana on Sunday to study the controversial paddy cultivation issue and also the problems being faced by farmers, and submit a report to Congress president A. Revanth Reddy.
This visit is a part of the Congress decision to get into an offensive mode against the government’s decision not to buy paddy in the next Yasangi season and threats by the Ministers and officials to the farmers against paddy cultivation.
A meeting of the senior leaders led by Mr. Revanth Reddy at Gandhi Bhavan discussed the issue threadbare and decided to send Congress teams to all the districts. Later, speaking to reporters along with G. Chinna Reddy, Dasoju Shravan, Manavata Roy and Shivasena Reddy, the TPCC chief said a series of protests would be organised in the next few days on the farmers’ issues, Dalit Bandhu, rising fuel prices and the concerns of unemployed youth.
