Rajya Sabha Member Dr. K.Laxman said that farmers’ agitation in Kamareddy is the beginning of the downfall of Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao. Minister KTR is saying that some farmer has died, if a farmer dies, will KTR speak mockingly and sarcastically? Farmers look down on him? he asked. They demanded that a gram sabha should be held and a decision should be taken on the master plan instead of the Doddi road. KCR, who won votes in the name of farmer loan waiver, now accused the farmers of paying usury.
