Telangana Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao today lashed out at Telangana JAC Chairman M Kodandaram for politicizing farmers' issues by holding "pointless" Ryothu dharnas and deekshas.
Talking to the media in Karimnagar on Sunday, he alleged that Kodandaram was maligning the State government which was already addressing farmers' issues.
Kodandaram and BJP leader Nagam Janardhan Reddy are provoking farmers to stall the Palamur project, he alleged.
The government was ready to waive crop loans and offer minimum support price to their produce, he said.
This deeksha is utterly pointless and unnecessary.
