Rahul undertakes padayatra in drought-hit Telengana villages
Adilabad, Telengana, May 15 (IBNS) Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi began his 15-km padyatra through five Telangana villages in the drought-hit Adilabad district early on Friday morning.
He will interact with the families of five farmers who committed suicide in the last one year. At the end of his trek, he will meet farmers in Wadhial village.
This is the Congress leader's first visit to Telangana after the new state was formed last year.
Rahul had earlier visited the distressed farmers in Punjab and Maharashtra.
According to activists in Telengana, more than 900 farmers have killed themselves in the last 10 months over agricultural loss.
But the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government says the number is less than 100.
