Hyderabad: Telangana police have denied permission to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) to hold a farmers’ protest in Nalgonda on Tuesday, January 21.

Despite the denial of permission, the BRS is keen on holding a farmers’ protest, stating that it would approach the Telangana High Court for permission. The party leaders also threatened to turn gram sabhas in Telangana into protest sites, beginning on Tuesday.

Earlier on Monday, KTR questioned the Telangana government over the non-implementation of loan waiver for farmers in Telangana. He also targeted the Congress for failing to deliver on promises made to people in the build-up to the Telangana Assembly elections.

On January, 17 KTR  attacked Telangana CM Revanth Reddy over non-payment of loan waiver for farmers during a Maha Dharna in Chevella. Speaking at a massive protest gathering organised by farmers and the BRS in Sabad of Chevella Mandal, KTR came down heavily on the Revanth Reddy government and said the chief minister made the people settle for just the free bus ride scheme while keeping many of his electoral promises remain unfulfilled.

KTR alleged that half of the six electoral promises made by Congress remain unfulfilled, which Revanth Reddy had promised to implement within 100 days of taking over as the chief minister.
