YSRCP condemns lathi-charge, demands all party meet

Telangana YSR Congress Party has demanded an All-Party meeting on the Mallannasagar issue and condemned the high-handed behaviour of the police against the agitating farmers in Medak district.

“We strongly condemn the indiscriminate lathi-charge on farmers by police on the farmers, who are facing threat of submergence due to the redesigning of the project and demand that an all party meeting should be convened to sort out the differences,’’ party Telangana President G Srikanth Reddy told reporters on Monday.
YSR Congress has always been with the farmers and it will fight for the farmers’ cause, he said and condemned the high-handedness of police on the farmers who were agitating against the Mallannasagar on Rajiv Rahadari in Medak district.

“Why was the Mallannasagar redesigning is a question which needs an explanation. Why should the State Government issue a GO for land acquisition when the Central Act is already in force and why were registration offices opened in the villages?’ he said.
