The decision was announced by the Floor Leaders of the party in Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha K. Keshava Rao and Nama Nageswara Rao, respectively, after boycotting Tuesday’s session mid-way.
They stated that two Union Minister had given different replies on the issue in Parliament on Tuesday continuing their (Centre’s) indifference towards the problems of Telangana farmers.
