Because of State and Central governments there was a problem with the purchase of paddy, power cuts, and many promises given by the governments remained unfulfilled. Public should be explained what the Congress party did for their welfare in the past. The price of a cooking gas cylinder in the Congress regime was Rs 450 today it was Rs 1100, the price of cooking oil is over Rs 300 and the prices of all essentials have gone up tremendously. All these have to be told to the public through social media and also through women's associations, Prabhakar said. Activists should hold discussions in the villages how the MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar failed to address issues that have been in the constituency for the last three years and was only interested in Bhagyalakshmi Temple Since independence, the farmer does not need to know whether the grain bought by the farmer is bought by the central government or the state government. It is the responsibility of the government to buy the grain harvested by the farmer. Dr. Satyanarayana said he came into politics with the intention of serving the people and that he was in politics for the last 17 years. The ruling party leader's corruption and irregularities have to stopped, he said Dr. Kavvampally Anuradha Mandal Congress President M Ramanareddy, District Women Congress President K Satyaprasanna Reddy, Kisan Cell President Krishnareddy, BC Cell President Anjaneyulu, Minority Cell President MD Taj, ST Cell President Shravan Nayak and Block Congress President SL Goud were present at the meeting.
