Hyderabad: BJP to protest over Pothireddypadu

Hyderabad: BJP Telangana presidnet Bandi Sanjay Kumar called upon all the BJP leaders and the cadre to hoist black flags on the top of their homes from 10 to 11 am on May 16.

The Karimnagar MP said after the state party core committee meeting here on Thursday that it was decided to hoist black flags in protest against the inaction of the State government towards the AP government order on Pothireddypadu.

The committee also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central government for announcing a stimulus economic package to instil confidence among farmers, workers, small-time traders and middle class in the country.

The Rs 20 lakh package announced by the Centre reflects Modi's government's commitment towards all sections of the society.

He said the state committee discussed the Rythu Bandhu Scheme (RBS) of the State government. Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao's statements to discontinue RBS to the farmers who fail to cultivate crops specified by the State government amounted to cheating.

It shows that slowly the Chief Minister wanted to do away with the RBS and was turning an enemy to the framers in the State, he added.
