Hyderabad: As many as 56farmers in Telangana, file nominations for the Nizamabad Lok Sabha constituency, which is represented by the state CM K Chandrasekhar Rao's daughter Kavitha to protest against the alleged failure of the ruling government's efforts in ensuring minimum support price for turmeric and red jowar (sorghum) produce.
The farmers have been protesting for the past few weeks for higher minimum support price.
Some farmers said that they have decided to file nominations to express their protest as the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government has failed to ensure MSP for their produce.
Turmeric and red jowar farmers in Nizamabad and Jagtial districts in Telangana have been agitating for higher MSP for the last three weeks.
The nomination fee for each contesting candidate for Lok Sabha is Rs. 25,000.
