Rao justified the support by stating that the farmers are legally agitating against the Centre’s Farm Bills. He said that since the Farm Bills would harm the farmers’ interests, the party opposed them in the Parliament.

The TRS chief felt that there is a need to continue the agitation till the Farm Bills are withdrawn by the Centre.

In a strategic move, he said that the TRS would work with the farmers to make the Bharat Bandh successful. He also appealed to people to stand by farmers and make the Bandh successful.
