Sharmila acquaints with farmers

As thousands of YSR and Jagan fans, party activists and locals followed her,  Sharmila continued Maro Prajaprasthanam  march in Anantapur district on Friday meeting and mingling with people, mostly farmers and women, and paying attention to know their plethora of problems.

When Sharmila’s Padayatra reached Mallenapally village in Dharmavaram Mandal, a farmer requested her to sow seeds in his agricultural field. Sharmila, agreeing to his request, followed him into his field and sowed the seeds and then spoke to the farmers who gathered there.

She enquired about the power supply, input subsidies and the productivity they are getting from their crops.

The farmers then began listing out their problems such as lack of power, non-availability of seeds and the absence of input subsidies. Sharmila consoled them and assured them that all their problems would be solved when the YSRCP assumes power in the state and asked them not to worry.

Meanwhile, YSRCP activists complained that officials have stopped transmission of cable TV news in Dharmavaram for the last three days in order to stop the dissemination of news of Sharmila’s Padayatra which has been drawing tremendous response.
