NALGONDAa: The lull in the Telangana movement has led to a surge of support for Telugu Desam chief and leader of the opposition N Chandrababu Naidu in Nalgonda district on Thursday.
A large number of women tried to interact with Naidu during his padayatra in the Suryapet Assembly constituency. Even youths, farmers and members of weaker sections waited in hordes on the roadside for the arrival of Naidu who was three hours behind the schedule at most places.Naidu covered 18 km by walk on the day during his Rytu Poru Bata and inspected the driedup cotton, paddy and red gram crops at Chinnayapalem, Bejunaik Tanda, Pillalamarri and other villages which are mostly dominated by STs and SCs.
Naidu observed that farmers were up in arms against the state government which totally neglected the farming sector. "Do not resort to suicides. I am here to support you. Leave your farms and come into streets to fight against the government," the former chief minister called upon the farmers in distress. Even though large parts of the state were reeling under drought, there was no minimum response from chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, Naidu alleged and said, "I will convene a meeting before the Parliament session and draw the attention of the nation to the farmers' woes in the state." He said farmers' agenda should become the agenda of any government and assured ninehour free power supply to farmers if the TDP was voted to power.He said the onerupee rice scheme would be useless as long as the prices of other essential commodities like tamarind and red gram continued to soar.
