KTR condemns illegal cases against farmers for protesting on urea shortage

BRS working president KT Rama Rao hit out at Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for misusing police force to harass farmers who were protesting urea shortages. He condemned the deployment of police force on the residence of farmer Laxman Yadav from Yellareddypet mandal in Rajanna Sircilla district.

Laxman Yadav reportedly expressed anguish over urea shortage, by beating himself with his slippers for voting for the Congress in the 2023 Assembly polls. The video went viral on social



media, with the government drawing flak for its inefficiency.

Taking to X, Rama Rao said the government had responded with intimidation instead of redress. “Sending police to his house at midnight and terrorising his family is an example of the Chief Minister stooping to new lows,” he charged. 

He reminded that protest is a constitutional right and questioned how Revanth Reddy, who swore an oath on the same Constitution, could deny it to farmers.
