Speaking on the occasion, Kodandaram (TJS) said that SC decision could be appealed by the respective States."The ground reality and sorry plight of tribals, who suffer with starvation and whose kids are affected with malnutrition should be taken to the notice of States," he said, demanding Telangana government to come to the rescue of Armoor farmers, who are fighting for better MSP.
TPCC president Uttam Kumar Reddy said that morale of tribals is at very low after the SC verdict and they should be given all legal help to get justice.Peddi Reddy called upon the TRS government to take up the issues of tribals and Armoor farmers on humanitarian grounds. Chada Venkat Reddy proposed constituting a fact-finding committee to visit tribal areas in various districts and prepare a comprehensive report to ensure their rights are protected.
