The campaign underscores YSRCP’s commitment to addressing public issues and supporting farmers against the anti-farmer policies of the ruling coalition government.

The rallies, he affirmed, will demonstrate YSRCP’s solidarity with farmers and its dedication to achieving justice through peaceful and impactful means.
