Thousands of TRS cadres led by Minister for Agriculture Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, on Wednesday, set out their journey in over 100 tractor-trailers from Banswada to attend the public meeting to be held in Warangal on Thursday.

They made roofs with bamboo sticks leafy sheets over the tractor-trailers to protect themselves from the heat and put on pink flags all over the vehicles. The Minister was driving one tractor. A large number of farmers also left in tractors to attend the public meeting. They made special arrangements for themselves to have lunch and dinner on the way. Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said that farmers voluntarily started for Warangal to express their gratitude to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for his well-designed schemes including supply of fertilizers free-of-cost for their well-being.
