Hyderabad: Former minister and Congress MLA Duddilla Sridhar Babu here on Tuesday alleged that the State government was harassing the farmers. He also alleged that the officials were creating problems for the farmers at purchase centers.
Stating that the much-publicized Rythu Bandhu scheme had become an election-related scheme, he alleged that the State government, which implemented the scheme during the Huzurnagar by-election did not implement it in the neighboring constituency.
