Coming down heavily on TDP government for harassing the farmers to surrender their land for capital formation, YSR Congress has said that it will take up the cause and fight on behalf of affected people and will also explore legal options against the dictatorial attitude of the State.

“Farmers are being harassed and official machinery, more so police, is being used to settle political scores and the poor response to land pooling, with farmers voluntarily giving up land, shows that they are not willing to part with their land and the adamant State Government is using force and coercion to get its work done.

"We will not allow this to happen and will be with the farmers who are being harassed and will explore legal options, if necessary,” Party MLA Alla Ramakrishna Reddy told reporters here on Saturday.
