He said that Congress teams visited the entire state and met the farmers and tried to understand how the new Dharani portal has played with their lives. Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao, who praises the Dharani portal, is not aware of the problems in the villages. Mr. Kodanda Reddy said, “The situation is completely different from what the Chief Minister thinks.”
He said it is the pain of the people affected by the portal that they link it to the Patel-Patwari system and in fact claim that it was much better as complaints could have been brought to their notice. The party will soon organize a meeting of farmers affected by the Dharani portal to highlight how unfriendly the system has become.

But the TRS government was working against the interests of the farmers and Congress would support them to protect the interests of the farmers.
Dayakar said the party discussed in detail how the government was deliberately snatching land from farmers. He alleged that small and marginal farmers were disappearing due to the Chief Minister’s policies and Telangana would once again see feudal landlords holding on to a larger share.
Shri Belaih Naik said that the government was deliberately breaching the Forest Rights Act and the TRS leaders were looking like feudal lords in snatching the rights of tribal farmers as well. He said that if the Congress made farmers by giving them land and restored their respect, the TRS was forcibly snatching land from them, even violating the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act.
