TRS supports call for ‘Bharat Bandh’ on Dec 8

Hyderabad, Dec 6 : The ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) also extended support on Sunday to the ‘Bharat Bandh’ called by farmers’ unions on December 8 to oppose and seek repeal of three new central farm legislations.
Telangana Chief Minister and TRS President K Chandrasekhar Rao said that the TRS rank and file would participate actively to make the proposed shutdown a success.
Several trade unions and political parties, including the Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Trinamool Congress and the Left parties have already announced their support to the countrywide shutdown.
KCR, as the TRS leader is popularly known, justified the support by stating that the farmers are agitating through lawful means against the Centre’s farm laws.
He recalled that the TRS had opposed the farm Bills in Parliament in September as they were allegedly aimed at harming the interests of Indian farmers.
The TRS chief felt that there was need to continue the agitation till the new legislations were withdrawn.
