Speaking on the occasion, petitioner Ramachandra Rao said there should not be any discrimination in the implementation of any welfare scheme of the State government.
Referring to Article 14 of the constitution, he said the said article prohibits any kind of discrimination.
He said the State has 24 lakh farmers, who are above the age of 59 years and wondered as to how the Rythu Bhima scheme would not be extended to all such farmers.
