It's known that scores of farmers groups have called for a nation-wide band this December 8. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday issued a statement saying that the TRS will support the agitation.

"Our party will participate in the bandh and we feel that there is a need to continue the agitation till the farm bills are withdrawn," KCR said.

TRS functionary Krishan wrote that all party cadre and leaders will participate in wide numbers standing in strength and solidarity for the all-India Bandh.

It's notable that KCR's support comes in the context of the BJP winning big numbers in the GHMC polls. So far, the YCP and TDP, the two biggest parties of Andhra Pradesh, have not spoken out against the farm reforms.
