BRS working president interacts with farmers and traders in Rythu Bazaar in Sircilla.
BRS working president KT Rama Rao has appealed to farmers and traders in Rythu Bazar here to vote for the BRS candidate in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Campaigning for Karimnagar Lok Sabha candidate B Vinod Kumar at the local Rythu Bazaar here on Saturday, he made enquiries about problems being faced by farmers and traders.
He had tea with the locals at a tea stall. Quoting the farmers as saying, he said sheds and drinking water should be provided at the rytu bazaar. He offered to provide temporary facility in this regard in 24 hours.
The people expressed concern over lack of water for irrigation in streams during the present regime. They also lamented that they are yet to receive pension for one month, he said. The people feel that the KCR regime was better than that of the Revanth government, he said.
They want KCR to return to power in Telangana for their good, he said, feeling the pulse of the people.
The farmers expressed anguish over the new regime not paying attention to their woes, he said.
They complained that the loan waiver did not take place so far, Rythu Bandhu benefits were not fully credited into bank accounts of farmers, he said.
He predicted that Boinapally Vinod would win the seat with a good majority.
Earlier he undertook a whirlwind tour of Sircilla town from the early hours of Saturday as part of the Lok Sabha elections. He campaigned at BY Nagar Flag Post X roads, Venkampeta and Hanuman X roads and addressed street-corner meetings seeking voter support to Vinod Kumar.
The Congress promised people the moon and won the elections. During the KCR regime, weavers found gainful employment for nine months a year and used to earn salaries from Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000. The people were able to get two square meals a day. The looms have been closed for over the past four months. The Congress regime did away with Bathukamma Saris, X-mas kits, Ramzan Tofas. As the government did not place Batukamma Saris order with the power looms here, the weavers were driven onto the streets and to the point of committing suicides.
