Referring to the incidents that occurred during a programme organized by the YSRCP CRDA Farmers Protection Committee, the farmers claimed that the authorities were not following the prescribed legal procedures. They said they had already approached the court seeking relief and questioned why land acquisition was being carried out without providing compensation to affected landowners.

The farmers further alleged that they were being intimidated by officials and demanded transparency in the acquisition process.
