‘KCR, Jagan mum on farmers deaths’

Hyderabad: Telangana Congress working president and Sangareddy MLA T

Jayaprakash Reddy

has found fault with chief ministers K Chandrasekhar Rao and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for not raising their voice against the alleged killing of four farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri of Uttar Pradesh.

“If KCR and Jagan are true in their claims that TRS-BJP and YSRCP-BJP are opposition parties, then why neither of the CMs has condemned the killing of the farmers or demanded the arrest of Union minister’s son Ashish Mishra, who was allegedly in the car which crushed the farmers,” Jayaprakash Reddy, also known as Jagga Reddy, asked.

The Congress MLA appealed to the farmers to realise that neither KCR nor Jagan had led any farmers agitations against the NDA government at the Centre or its contentious three farm laws, which are anti-farmer. Though KCR-led TRS participated once in a farmers’ Bharat Bandh, it made a U-turn after KCR’s meeting with PM Modi in New Delhi. tnn
