KCR said that farmers are agitated due to a lack of policies. "Don't forget that farmers made you apologise. An integrated new Agriculture policy for India has to come. All farmer leaders will come and will set up workshops and we will declare the policy. Irrespective of whether the Government of India implements or not," he added
"On Sri Ramanavami, stone pelting was witnessed in Gujarat and Karnataka as elections are due in these states. Communal issues are being created by the ruling party to gain in elections. They are ruining the country," said KCR.
