Lokesh calls on families of jailed Dalit farmers

Amaravati: TDP General Secretary Nara Lokesh on Wednesday visited Krishnayapalem village in Amaravati Capital City and called on the family members of the farmers who were arrested and jailed Dalit farmers there.

Lokesh enquired about the problems of the women and told them that the TDP would stand by them in their fight against the injustice being done to them by the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy Government.

The women members of the farmers' families wailed inconsolably over the persecution by the ruling YSRCP leaders. Just because the Krishnayapalem farmers stopped outsiders from entering Capital city area, the police filed false cases and shifted them to jail. Gross humiliation was done as the farmers were handcuffed by the police as if they were criminals and terrorists.

The Dalit women of Krishnayapalem deplored that they had voted for the ruling YSRCP in the 2019 elections. Now, the YSRCP leaders had taught a bitter lesson to them for their unconditional support in the elections. With their support, the YCP local MLA won the election but never bothered to come to their rescue after coming to power.
