Congress protests for Rythu Bandhu, urea

Patancheru: The Congress party leaders of Sangareddy district, under the leadership of town president Narsimha Reddy, staged a 'rasta roko' demonstration and dharna on the national highway here demanding clearance of the 'Rythu Bandhu' dues and making available urea to farmers.

Addressing the demonstrators, leaders alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao failed to implement his pre-election assurance on farm loan waiver and misled the people after coming to power. Reddy called upon the voters to teach the ruling party a lesson in the ensuing elections. Among those who took part in the 'rasta roko' were Patancheru constituency party in-charge Kata Srinivas Goud, Medak Lok Sabha in-charge Gali Anil Kumar, Sapanadev and party activists.
