In a media interaction at the Assembly Media Pointer, Harish Rao criticized the new government for not fulfilling their promises regarding farmer welfare and rice procurement.

He demanded a clear timeline for when this will be implemented.
Harish Rao also challenged the government to fulfill their election promise of purchasing paddy with a bonus of Rs 500.
