In a strong-worded response to Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy’s reported statement that farmers who complained of not getting Rythu Bandhu assistance should be slapped with chappals, BRS working president KT Rama Rao said it should be the other way around, with farmers giving the chappal treatment to Congress leaders for failing to deposit Rythu Bandhu amounts in their accounts.
Speaking at a BRS Social Media Warriors awareness programme in Karimnagar parliament constituency on Wednesday, Rama Rao said farmers should also think whether they would hit back at the Congress leaders with their chappals or with their votes.
