In Jogulamba Gadwal district, BRS leader Basu Hanumanthu Naidu and other party leaders were arrested by the police. They were on their way to meet Telangana state ministers to submit a petition about farmers’ concerns. The petition focused on the Gattu Lift Irrigation Scheme and the issue of loan waivers for farmers in the constituency.
Basu Hanumanthu Naidu expressed his frustration over the arrest. He questioned why they were detained when they were peacefully heading to present the farmers’ issues. He pointed out that many farmers in the area still haven’t received the promised loan waivers, and when they try to raise these concerns, they are arrested.
Naidu emphasized that the BRS party will always support farmers and continue to fight for their rights.
Other party leaders accompanying him included Monesh, Shekhar Naidu, Tirumala, S. Ramu, Kuruva Pullayya, Basu Gopal, Raju Naidu, Rayapuram Veeresh, Hamod, Majju, Samuel, Ravi, Suresh, Kamesh, and others.
