With the availability of irrigation water and increasing cultivation area, there is a huge demand for farm laborers. The people from other States are now coming to Telangana and are engaged in agricultural work. Right now, the Telangana is not only giving a livelihood to us but also providing employment to the people of other States, Harish Rao said.
Criticizing the anti-people policies of the BJP government at the Centre, the Minister said that the prices of daily commodities have become doubled and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has cheated the youth of the country by failing to fulfill his promise of providing two lakh jobs annually. (Hydnow)
