HYDERABAD: Farmers of Siddipet have launched an innovative programme to voice their grievances. Expressing their discontent, farmers resorted to sending postcards to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Monday, highlighting the failures of the Congress Government in fulfilling the promises made to them prior to the Assembly elections.
